Re: Your comments regarding Xemacs - spot on!, well said.
Although mainly a C/C++ developer (for which I used Xemacs a great =
deal), I had to
do a good deal of VBScripting last year, and visual-basic-mode.el add-on =
to Xemacs
was perfect for the task. It seems to be perfect for a great many =
different tasks!!

Re: Your comments on English spelling - Well, having a high regards

Samuel Johnson's famous dictionary - you might think that it would be =

downloadable since one might have expected the copyright would now

tried looking seems to cleverly redirect you to some book sales site
rather than offer an online/downloadable version.=20
I'm inclined to side with Google on the book copyright dispute -
the book publishers and universities have had for too long a monopoly

to find out. But... that is the stuff for another post and some other =
newsgroup.
