Thanks.  That was quite helpful.  I installed it, and the /bin directory 
has a lot of useful stuff.  Unfortunately, "whereis" is not one of them, 
though.  :-(  But it may be that I need to check further, since there 
may be an option to get it so that is just an initial reaction.

Emacs is a state of mind, by the way.  Some people have it, some people 
do not.  I am also one of  those who do not.  I kind of like for a text 
editor to be a text editor -- not an operating system.
