Sadly, I have not yet embraced emacs as the One True OS. I only really use it for coding, editing some of the more cumbersome config files (httpd.conf comes to mind), and, of course, mpuz. (Love that game.) Even if I already had it running however, clicking is much too slow for me. M-x info, m, <pagename> works, but it's too many steps. Not to mention that I have to switch to the window first. What I would LIKE to be able to do is "info pagename" from the command line and have it open it up in emacs' info browser. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
