Information about Emacs/XEmacs

• Start xemacs by typing "xemacs &" (without the quotation marks) in a command shell. XEmacs will come up.
• If xemacs is not installed, try emacs with command "emacs &". (XEmacs is Emacs with some small improvements).
• Type in C-h t (C-h means: press control key and letter h). A tutorial on Emacs/XEmacs starts.
• There is an excellent help system on XEmacs/Emacs, accessible via C-h i.
• Under windows you have to install it. The installation is fairly straightforward. (If you want to install Cygwin, a unix emulation under windows (very handy for running a lot of unix software under windows), it's recommended to download the cygwin version. Otherwise you should install the ordinary version.
  (The cygwin distribution contains already an emacs version).
