Furthermore, since elvis doesn't take up all my control keys, my screen config has a whole bunch of rather nifty functionality. Configuring the same while avoiding emacs-stomping would be an excercise in finding free control keys where there are none. > Besides, speed is FAR from being the only (or even the most > important) reason for using gnuclient.

I can fire up a fully self-contained editor in no time flat, and simply quit it when I'm done. ...and if the thing core dumps on me, I don't lose everything I was working on, either :-) > It's ery useful for sharing buffers sharing buffers between what?

Well, I don't use X, so that's a moot point as far as I'm concerned. - Dave -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler.
