Dave,
I've used GNU emacs for about 20 years and xemacs for the last four or
five. They're both pretty similar, but I like xemacs better for use
with X.
It's the greatest program ever written, IMHO. :-)

Csound mode file is available from Bath, but after I have it how do I
instruct emacs to use it ?
Here's a pointer that looks helpful...

It seems to require emacs version 21 (see below).
Btw, I have emacs 20.7.1 from an RH 7.2 installation
and will probably
just use it unless I figure out Xemacs. My first problem with Xemacs
occurs when I press the File load button and receive an error message
regarding a package named 'annotation' (?). Bad start. So I need extra
packages for the GUI to function ? Or I'm missing what ?
That's a rather old version. My Debian woody distribution includes
xemacs 21.4.6-8, which is hardly recent. I'd recommened installing
xemacs version 21. I'm not a Red Hat user, but a quick google seems
to indicate that rpmfind has xemacs 21 packages for RH 7.2.
Btw, maybe we should go off-list with this thread ?
Done.
