8.1 What MUA (Mail User Agent) or News Readers are available from Meadow?

For MUA: RMAIL, cmail, or Mew; for MUA and News Reader: Wanderlust, Semi-gnus, or Gnus is available.

8.2 Can I use "mh-e"?

No. There is no MH for Windows. Though it is reported that you could manage to compile and run, I recommend you to transfer to one of the brilliant MUAs.

8.3 AUC TeX

AUC TeX is available from http://sunsite.auc.dk/auctex.

8.4 YaTeX

YaTeX is available from http://www.yatex.org/.

8.5 Where can I find the latest version of perl-mode?

It is available from CPAN. I, however, recommend `cperl-mode'. Both are available from CPAN/misc/emacs/.

8.6 Can I use hexl-mode?

Yes. For example, type hexl-find-file.

8.7 Where can I find python-mode?

Read http://www.python.org/emacs/python-mode/.

8.8 Can I use telnet?

Yes, since `telnet.exe' for Windows console comes with Meadow. To use, type M-x telnet.

8.9 How do I use browse-url?

• To use with Netscape Navigator, put the following to your `.emacs':

  (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-netscape) (setq browse-url-netscape-program "ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_netscape.exe") (defun browse-url-netscape (url) (interactive (browse-url-interactive-arg "URL: ")) (if browse-url-netscape-program (let ((w32-start-process-show-window t)) (start-process (concat browse-url-netscape-program url) nil browse-url-netscape-program url))))

• To use with Internet Explorer, you can use this instead:

  (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-msie) (setq browse-url-msie-program "IEXPLORE.EXE") (defun browse-url-msie (url) (interactive (browse-url-interactive-arg "URL: ")) (if browse-url-msie-program (let ((w32-start-process-show-window t)) (start-process (concat browse-url-msie-program url) nil browse-url-msie-program url))))

8.10 How do I use the EDT emulation mode?

Put the following code in your `.emacs':

(setenv "TERM" "pc") (setq term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)

Document in English on EDT emulation is found at `$MEADOW/$VERSION/etc/edt-user.doc'.

For editing Windows specific files such as `*.bat', `*.ini', `*.pif', you can use generic.el and generic-x.el.

Yes. You can use `java-mode' in Meadow. There is JDE, too. If you want to add highlight in `font-lock mode', `andrsl-java-font-lock.el' is available from http://www.csd.uu.se/%7Eandersl/emacs.shtml.
