TABER CSC137 Lab 4.6: emacs -- Print your name



Do the emacs tutorial on a system with emacs. gort has emacs installed. Type emacs and follow the instructions. 
gort:~>  emacs
then ^H(for help) then t(for tutorial)

You may want to try the hyper-text manual pages for emacs. 

gort:~>  emacs
then ESC, x, and info
You may want to copy ~ltaber/.emacs from my area so the cursor keys work if you use a VT200/VT300 terminal. This was dine for you when your account was setup on gort. You may want to ftp this file to another system.

Emacs needs the ^C character. The terminal emulator that we use on our AppleMAC systems can be set to block this. Please see the item about the Apple's NCSA telnet program.
