| To save the macros on disk, the best solution is to use a text editor such as vi, emacs or nedit. |
| If you frequently use Alt keys-for example, if you use Emacs and Alt is your meta key-you probably will prefer this. |
| Thus when you invoke the crunched version of emacs, for instance, it actually loads the uncruncher, which then loads and uncrunches the rest of emacs. |
| In addition to manual pages, these programs come with more extensive hypertext documents called info files which can be viewed with the info command or, if you installed emacs, the info mode of emacs. |
| The configuration of emacs for mail and news is described in the emacs manual. |
| Another possibility is to use emacs to read mail and news. |
