Didn't think it was relevant since the original poster was asking
about how to make their emacs 21 like older emacs.

Frames for one, which I find more convenient than constantly splitting
and switching windows. Sawfish makes this easy to integrate and ensure
you have full screens etc. Also, there are some programs which only
work well under a windowing environment (e.g. real player) which I
like to use plus it use to be a lot easier to setup so that you had
more characters and lines per screen than you could get in a tty. I
also got use to X when I was working on pure X workstations where you
didn't have the option of a tty.
