Sorry, I had to finish my earlier message in a hurry... Here's the
important details - I'm running MacOS X 10.2.3 on a dual G4 tower.
I'm using OroborOSX v0.8b. I've very little experience with emacs (and
that was 4 years ago), and I think "lisp" is what you do when you've
bitten your tongue.

Thanks in advance for any help.
