Re: Emacs learning curve

Yes, I didn't say what I meant there, I think. I also meant things
like this: http://sites.google.com/site/steveyegge2/effective-emacs,
which is a combination of a list of useful commands and some advice on
how to configure Emacs.

I must admit that I haven't read the manual all the way through. If I
had, perhaps I would feel differently, but I think I still wouldn't be
able to remember everything in the manual until I had used Emacs for a
while.
