I use nano an embarrassing amount, because I'm always forgetting to 
forward X on my ssh connections, so I can't use emacs.

Mind you, at the moment I seem to have half-a-dozen putty's open on a 
Windows laptop, each running emacs on a remote machine. And doing email 
in Thunderbird. Odd.

cheers, Rich.
