You got it, it seems. Except that I though you wanted one of those that would run without X11. Have you found Xemacs outside X11 to be mouse-enabled beyond mere cut & paste? > It looks to me like I got the full blown xemacs package. I don't have packages handy, so I don't know how they're organized, but there are several ports that make up a full-blown installation. > Is there some way I can just get the editor? I doubt it, but at least with ports you can get a less-than-full-blown setup. The Xemacs binary is "only" 3 MB, but most of what implements the features is contained in *.elc and a few *.el elisp files. (The *.elc files are a sort of "compiled" *.el elisp files.) It comes with a lot of plain text README-type files and INFO files too. I don't know what a minimum install is, but if you find you like the thing, you could probably go through the directories and clean lots of it out.
