In other words, I don't know if this is due to my (raw) install or
not, but while in Dired, pressing "e" for edit didn't work for certain
files. Most worked, but one or two (e.g. "blah.sh") seemed to just
abort unexpectedly and close the console / terminal. But since this is
DOSEMU, it could just be a bug (or PEBKAC).  ;-)   I'd have to try
again later. (Frustratingly, my wifi doesn't work there [yet], else
I'd probably use it more often.)

The "quite a few" isn't a direct problem for me. Let's face it, Emacs
is pretty huge in functionality already, so I'd be surprised if I ever
used even half of it. But yeah, sure, some of it won't work without
other stuff (Ediff needs Diff, VC needs RCS or whatever ... not that I
ever used those modes [yet], honestly).

P.S. Do you still read news://gnu.emacs.help or http://www.emacswiki.org
