Emacs on my mac seems to be about the same size as "textedit" (the Apple "m=
inimalist" editor.)

If you're an emacs user, you should know what C-M-x means.  (Probably.  I'v=
e actually met some people, really GOOD people, that essentially used EMACS=
 in GUI-mode.  Arrow keys and menu buttons.  Mind-blowing.)
If you're NOT an emacs user, trying to use EMACS to edit binary data would =
be a bad idea.
(In this case C-M-x is the command, and "Insert a byte" is the description.=
  Hold Ctrl and Meta while striking x, and you'll be prompted for hex data =
to enter.  Or "ESC Ctrl-x" for old keyboards. (In this case "insert" means =
"replace the current character."  I don't (offhand) see a way to actually i=
nsert data in hexl mode.)
