What's an Emac?

The word is emacs. The original UNIX operation system came bundled with a programmable "word processor" named vi. The words "word processor" is in quotes because vi was a far, far cry from what we think of word processor meaning today. I hated it and considered it a God-send when our shop made emacs available to us. emacs' operation is closer to what today's concept of a word processor, but it still had its quirks. The key to these programs were their programmability... you could do almost anything with them.
