I really like Ctrl-Tab to switch between windows, e.g. between
CarbonEmacs, Adobe Acrobat (Doc) and X11 (figures) and Terminal (shell
so far). I know that I can use Ctrl-~ within X11 but I'm so used to
Ctrl-Tab.

I tested it (right now) and it does not. But I have X11 open all the
time anyway (it's small enough), so that (luckily) is not one of my
problems.

In the meantime (i.e. today) I stumbled over a (different? newer?)
Carbon Emacs that runs the IDL shell just fine. It's even linked from
apple.com:

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/carbo nemacspackage.html

Version is still given as 21.3.50 but somehow it works now.

Enjoy your new PowerBook, I love mine!
