Perhaps, I should elaborate. On this list, we DO assume experience with
emacs. However, in a Tutorial on ESS, you may attract users who have
little or no emacs experience. Having made similar presentations myself
over the years, I have spent more time on emacs than ESS; and Tony's
outline is no different. To get people to actually use ESS, you have to
get them over the hurdle of being very comfortable with emacs first.
