Stallman". Rather than continue a catch-up and name-that-acronym thread in this newsgroup, I would be happy to e-mail a compilation of the gnu info I received in response to my "What's all this then?" posting to interested comp.sys.mac.programmer readers. This infotext consists mainly of FAQ postings from gnu-and-emacs-related newsgroups. Please reply by e-mail to Bill (johnston@oscar.ccm.udel.edu) Disclaimer: I am just the idiot who asked, "Huh?", and am offering to pass along information that was news to me a day ago. I can't answer gnu-related questions ... I am told that there exists a gnu.emacs.help newsgroup (which is also the help-gnu-emacs mailing list) that results from people repeatedly asking many of the same questions. Information about the mailing list and "gnu news" groups are contained in the text file I mentioned above.
