Bottom posted - from the 'newbie' after reading so many opinions I decided that bottom is easier to read when the discussion goes on. I will top post if it is a very simple yes/no/end of discussion type of response. But thanks to all for opinions. On Wednesday 09 March 2005 21:47, Ingo Strauch wrote:

That's quite strange. On my system both
rpm -ql xemacs rpm -ql xemacs-21.4.15-59.4
give the list of files belonging to the "xemacs" package.
What do you get, wen you execute
rpm -qa | grep xemacs
Ingo, I got: xemacs-info-21.4.15-43 xemacs-packages-20040202-40 xemacs-packages-el-20040202-40 xemacs-packages-info-20040202-40 (I don't think that I want/need the -el- stuff; just part of my messy trials.) Have I installed it under some variation of the name?
Related question: xemacs is an 'upmarket' version of emacs; does this mean that I should have installed emacs and then xemacs, or can I install xemacs only?
They are independent of each other, you can install one without the other.
Thanks.
PS: I was told that I should "just hit reply"; are my responses okay? In his letter, ezmlm didn't explain how to 'reply' to a posting.
To me your responses are quite ok. One could only argue about putting the entire reply above the full quote of the previous mail. That's usually not too well received ;-)
Thanks again.
Cheers, Ingo
Also (for Claus Olesen, who commented): I didn't mean to be critical of KWrite - I actually like it very much, and will continue to use it. I just need to move to more power for code development. (Same reason for wanting LaTex.) Regards, Colin
