	If you have X and at least 16M of RAM, I'd suggest
last version of Xemacs. To me, it looks impressive, and you
need almost no emacs knowledge if you want just to use it.
The whole emacs is below, anyway, so that you can also use
all its goodies if you know how. It's main problem, for
me, is how machine-hungry it is.
