	Ok. To make a system work correctly, you'd do:

	apt-get update
	apt-get -y install emacs20 :-)
	update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/editor editor /usr/bin/emacs 1000

	To break your system, you'd do something like:

	update-alternatives --remove editor /usr/bin/emacs

	:-)

	Seriously now, is that what you were asking for?

	Hope this helps, Roger...
