the two editors I use most often with speakup are emacs and nano. nano 
is a pico clone but it's opensource, has more features, and the cursor 
tracking works a lot better then pico. I don't use emacs as an editor 
more often I run stuff like tnt under it and it works quite nicely.

Slackware does infact install two emacs binaries one with x and one 
without. it really doesn't matter which one you use but if you didn't 
install the x series (bad idea since some packages are broken without 
it) then you need the emacs with no x support.
