An emacs command? Yes. > Does emacs have its own packages? Apparently so. I didn't expect that, but I can't say I'm especially surprised. I do think it would have been appropriate to specify that, but in the initial reply at least there *was* mention of emacs in the quoted context, so I can see why that might not have been done. For this response, there wasn't any mention of emacs at all - and in that case it would *definitely* have been appropriate to specify e.g. "the package manager built in to emacs" instead of just "the built-in package manager", since the default context at hand (by virtue of where this conversation is taking place) is "Debian". -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
