Hi,

Thanks, it's not often I get compliments on my name (the same as yours with
a bit of abbreviation and omission :-)

Yep, it certainly does. I'm sort of thinking about reinstalling everything.
I get the impression from your email that this would be simpler than
manully reconfiguring Swarm/Cygnus to use emacs? It is *really* hideous, or
is reinstallation a safter bet? 

Thanks
