Re: [orca-list] Emacs editor

[covici ccs covici com]

emacs works very well with speakup in a virtual terminal -- I silence
the mode line, but otherwise speakup speaks everything, I am not sure
what more I would want.  Also, I can use my hardware synth for  the
virtual console, so for me that is nice.  Any advantage of using emacs
-nw undera gnome terminal?
