I expected, and a few articles in this newsgroup seem to confirm, the version of Gnu Emacs bundled on the NeXT to allow use of the mouse for editing etc, similar to the X windows version. However I can't find anyway of getting it to run outside a terminal window, or recognise the mouse etc. Can someone enlighten me please.

It is available on the archives. In order to activate the mouse (which works like the emacs-mouse in X-windows on the Suns, rather that highlight as the HUGE unofficial HP-emacs does) you have to install some e-lisp files in /usr/lib/emacs/lisp and /usr/lib/emacs/lisp/term. Instructions are clear and explicit! The file and size is: -r--r--r-- 1 bin golem 114895 Mar 19 07:26 Emacs-2.0.tar.Z Greetings, Hardy -------****------- Meinhard E.
