I can't remember if I've used EMACS or not ... the old age thing is kicking in.
Usually I use VooDoo (I'm not making this up). This is (was) an internal-to-HP
editor, each division having their own version. Each version was slightly
different. For example, the Corvallas (sp?) subspecies had a windowing feature
where you could work on two (or more) parts of the same file at once. The
Pinewood flavour, the one I like best, has a macro-recording feature that is
quite cool. I got it off that billboard that was being run out of Arizona a
decade or so ago by someone whose name escapes me (old age again).
Anyway, VooDoo is cryptic, powerful, and dangerous. I like it. I think that it
is the ancestor of HP/Edit, and *may* be a sort of a port of Emacs ....

Wow! I used EMACS way back in 1983 on a Prime mini-computer. It is a
pretty slick editor once you got past the learning curve. Maybe some
one can port this to MPE/iX? I mean, it ran on "green-screen" terminals
back in '83, so it can't be too hard, right? :-)
