One of these days I really ought to try Emacs. So far my experience is
basically starting it, then opening a new terminal and using ps to
identify the process id to kill ;) I have been told the quite commands
in the past, but never remember them.

I guess starging my *nix life with vi gave it a bit of an advantage,
otherwise I'd likely be as lost in that as I am with Emacs. The
keybindings also seem to fit quite nicely with Mutt, which probably
helped me switch from my first *nix mail client of Pine (can't stand
that now!).

Anyhoo...
