Developer tools are on another disk and are also optional...

Right, that explains why it asked this semi-coherent question:
Is it because was just a joke you are not afraid of cofffee that you came to me?

Is this an OS X thing, or is this built into emacs on other platforms too?


So I don't know my way around emacs... How do I quit? Maybe a link to an emacs tutorial is in order.
 
In the dunnet program, what are the commands besides the directional commands accessed via 'help', and the commands "eat" and "dig"? I can't seem to pick up the shovel for the life of me!

Any help would be appreciated.
 
i think to quit u do Control-C then x. And emacs does have those lisp programs on other platforms as i have seen them under Linux, which used to be on my iMac(Yellow Dog 2.0).

Actually, it is Control-x then control-c, at least accorting to emacs on startup, which indactes it ac C-c C-x. By the way in emacs C- means Control-, and M- means etithe Option- or Command- (it says M mecause many unix workstations from companies like Sun or SGI say Meta instaed of option or Alt).
 
The best emacs trick I've found is to type esc-x psychoanalyze-pinhead (that's the escape key, followed by the 'x' key, followed by the text 'psychoanalyze-pinhead').

That runs eliza against zippy the pinhead quotes.

Press control-c control-c when you've had enough.
 
I had to learn emacs 3 years ago...
I thought it was the most innefficient way of doing things... that was BEFORE I took a look at VI ;)
 
For anybody who's wondering, emacs has a lovely built in tutorial that you can access by typing Control-h, then t. There's also a good book from O'Reiley, but I can't quite remember the exact title.
 
Here's some interesting emacs commands to try: (Press Escape, then x before entering them)

hanoi
tetris
blackbox
decipher (do this on a buffer with a little bit of text in it)
dunnet
dissociated-press (I'm not quite sure what this does, but the name is humorous.)
gomoku
insert-zippyism
landmark
life
mpuz
phases-of-moon
snake
solitaire
spook (prints a bunch of words that would throw up the red flag on a government email snooper.)
