   Note to Adalbert: don't keep up in Turley's habit of both emailing
and posting all your responses. I had my unix account to trash all
email from Turley because he couldn't learn to control himself and/or
his software.

   Secondly, did you bother to read and comprehend what I wrote and
you quoted above: 'Emacs for unix'. If I meant to say the unix-like
environment for the GS, GNO/ME, I would have said so.

   Emacs is a text editor, emailer, news reader, lisp parser, www
browser, shell, therapist (M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead :), and who knows
what else.  Like most GNU software, it's way too bloated to even think
about a straight port to the Apple II series. [One (fake) acronym for
it is 'Eight Megabytes (of RAM) And Constantly Swapping'... It's not
quite that bad in my opinion, but it takes up RAM and disk space like
a Microsloth app]

   A stripped down version, 'Microemacs' is available for the GNO or
ORCA shells, but is slow and too confusing compared to other GS text
editors. [Edit-16 for Orca/GNO is what I use, mostly because it's
pretty darn fast and customizable]. And if you'd bothered to
comprehend what I wrote before, I *don't* use any of the optional
features Emacs for Unix provides for html editing, just using it like
a regular text editor and typing in the formatting codes manually by
hand. Thus, pretty much editor on any platform can be used.

   To center some text, Appleworks classic requires you to hit Open
Apple-O, 'cn' return, escape. Html just requires you to type
'<center>' before the text you want centered and '</center>'
afterwards. Both have a learning curve, and I'd almost say that
Appleworks may be the less intuitive in places. 

   I mentioned many WWW search engines yesterday, but since you
appear to be incapable of finding out information on your own,
if you want a well-written, concise guide to HTML, go to 
http://www.cc.ukans.edu/info/HTML_quick.html   [Found by going
to www.yahoo.com -> computers -> www -> html -> reference]

   Print the guide out, learn and use it. Hand done HTML imposes very
little on you, just putting '<p>'s at the end of paragraphs, and
detailing links with <a href="http...">fubar</a>
