- Now that I've finished my mid-terms (and only one lab report to do
- for the entire week!), I can start some serious pounding at my
- AppleWorks 3.0 script for uemacs 3.11c. Rather than taking the easy way
- out and simply mimicking the keystrokes, I've started writing procedures
- so that things like search-and-replace comes up with the same prompts.
- There are a few things I can't do easily (like OA-1 thru OA-9 would be a
- bitch to program), but it looks like it will be able to retain most of
- the AppleWorks-style commands.
