interesting experiment.

[Ann Parsons]

Hi all,

What's wrong with just typing 'm-x shell'?  that will allow you to do
most shell commands.  You can not do a lot of regular apps, but if you
want to write a file, just start writing one by opening one up.  Try
c-x c-f file name.  It will put you in a buffer and you can write as
much as you want.  Give the file the right extension for a CGI program
or for a C program, and you can compile it from within emacs, using
emacspeak.  

For example, if you want to write the C program to make the terminal
echo "Hello World", you type:  

c-x c-f hello.c

from whithin emacs, and you type in your program.  Then, you use the
proper sequence to compile the program, I believe it is c-c c-c, could
be wrong, and the blessed program is compiled and you can run it.
Emacs will go into what is called 'text mode', when you give it the
proper file extension.  If you call a file 'test.txt' you will be
placed in text mode.  It will give you a lot of options from there.
Try 'c-h m' from any buffer in emacs and you can find out what
commands you can do?
