Calum:
it does. thank you very much.

Centurian:
I don't have any trouble at all running emacs. It runs from the terminal, the KDE shell or in KDE. It works fine too fully resizable windows and everything.

Master of Reality:
hey Centurian, is the "Dark Mares" site of your creation??

Yep sure is.

Well, "emacs --help" tells me I should be able to use the "-nw" switch to ignore the DISPLAY variable and not start the X version. However, this does not appear to work on my machine. What *does* work is to open a new rxvt/xterm/kterm/etc that you want to run emacs in and type "unset DISPLAY", then type "emacs" and it will start the terminal version within that xterm. Hope this helps..

just to let people know (in case anybody should ever want to do this in the same way), i wanted emacs to start up within an Xterm, and what i did was this:
i put a shortcut button on my kde toolbar at the bottom of the screen, and it is set to execute this: "konsole -e emacs -nw". this works. i found out i have three versions of emacs installed on my machine. all work with X, and two of them have seperate text only interfaces. the one called 'emacs-nox' is the one i prefer. in my example, i have already got the fonts, colours, windows geometry and partial transparency that i want set up using the konsole toolbar menus. Presumably this is saved in some .kde-config type file in my home directory, so i do not need to add these options in the shortcut.

Boring to most i know, but i just thought i share that i finally figured something out in linux!   :D
