Emacs19

Emacs19 is the X-based version of Emacs and is mouse-sensitive. Many new feature have been added. Read Emacs News in the help menu for a list of these.

Menus have been added and can be accessed by the menu bar or by holding the control key and clicking a mouse button. These menus can also be customized.

A scroll bar is on the side of the frame and by clicking on it with the mouse you can move around your buffer.

Multiple frames can be added with new frame.

The mouse can be dragged to mark a region and with the edit menu you can cut and paste like many commercial wordprocessors. You can also cut and paste between Emacs and the rest of your X terminal screen.

Emacs19 is still unsupported software at PSU and is located in the /usr/local/uns/bin path. Some parts of the .emacs initialization file don't port to emacs19.
