IMHO. few years ago. But experience has proved me (and you) wrong. I have a NeXT with Digital Webster, and I've found that it's quicker to double-click the icon to launch the application, type in the word, and wait a couple of seconds to look it up.

IMHO. Whenever I am at an english word that I do not understand, I double click it and hit command-=. I found this to be more convenient and faster than the paperback dictionary i have right next to my mouse. I can even type on while the word is being looked up.

Subject: auc-tex on AMIGA
Hello,
I just downloaded the auc-tex package from the other day. (It is a very enhanced TeX/LaTeX mode for emacs) and am trying to install it on my amiga at home. My problem is as follows: Whenver I want to format a file, I get a message stating that it cannot find the command tex, latex resp. This is rather annoying... So has anybody got the thing working on an Amiga (running AmigaOS 2.04) - if yes give me a hint... I'll put the whole thing on amiga.physik.unizh.ch install-and-go ready as soon as it works. tnx Tom Heynemann You must Sign in before you can post messages.

Although I do not have `auc-tec', I do have an Amiga with Emacs,
and I know your problem. One of the things about the Amiga port of Emacs is that it gets search paths (and what *is* executable) confused. I suggest that your carfully look at your `load-path' variable, and at your PATH environment variable. NOTE THE DISTINCTION. You can check the value of the first one with `M-ESC load-path' Dave. -- You must Sign in before you can post messages.

The problem, of course, is getting this trackball to connect to something other than a PC.

One thing that concerns me about the Logitech trackman from briefly playing with it is all those
thumb movements which (to my hand) feel they originate from the base joint of the thumb (as opposed to flexing the thumb, which is more what tapping the space bar feels like to this touch typist on a qwerty keyboard). -- Dana Hudes d...@inferno.UUCP You must Sign in before you can post messages.

The auto indent features of C and C++ edit modes help a lot with the tedious formatting of programs. Words can be arbitrarily mapped to the key strokes that DragonDictate emits.
