That sounds all really fascinating and I would love to try it, but
emacs is still (after more then two years) still a mystery, especially
how to deal with installing these add-ons.

Therefore my question: would it be possible to draw up an easy to
follow HowTo which describes the process on hot to install "anything"
and how to activate it?

In anticipation,

Rainer
