My mistake, and thanks for pointing it out. I've been using KDE so long
I got lazy in distinguishing my terms. Thanks for the heads up.

I understand someone has written up a config file (forgot what the
special setting files are called) for screen writing formatting on
emacs, but, as I said, when I'm writing, I'm in a different mode, and I
just can't remember all the keystroke commands. It's hard to explain,
but I can use vi or other console editors and have no issue while
programming, but once I switch gears and start writing fiction, my
brain works completely differently. It must be a left brain/right
brain thing.
