"Emacs"?  What does *that* have to do with anything here?  :-)


Here's the situation:  I'm visiting somewhere, someone has
an apple-laptop, with of course os-x.

I want to be able to say, 

     Hey!  You know, you've got a whole UNIX already
     sitting there, for free, on your computer.

     Here, let me show you:

  Question: what do I do now, eg how to get into
   a shell, run grep, etc?

  Like, what menu do I have to mouse-descend, etc, to
  get "into" unix or bsd or whatever it is?

  A month or two ago I was in such a situation --
  tried using "help", looked for "unix", no luck.

Thanks!
