Then, if You play a while with it, try elisp, which is a language emacs was 
written in.
There is great manual (very easy to understand) for that:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/html_node/index.html

I read it and I must say that it opens even larger door to that what is meant 
by "flexible".
