I've been stymied several times in trying to get plain emacs (not xemacs)
running under OSX, but I just tracked down
http://homepage.mac.com/zenitani/emacs-e.html
which has a drag and install version (GNU Emacs 22.0.90.1) that seems to
work and it has IDLWAVE installed. Maybe this time I can actually learn to
use this lauded interface between IDL and emacs - it will require that I
learn emacs first (I am a vi fan). Suggestions for easy tutorials?
