Eli:

Is GNU pronounced GEE-new or guh-NEW?

MIT AI Memo 554 said EMACS is "an advanced, self-documenting, customizable,
extensible
real-time display editor"  What does "real-time" mean? Can you name an
editor that is NOT
real-time? Perhaps EDLIN? or any line editor?

Technically the editing is not done until the file is saved, so how can
even EMACS be called
real-time?
