  Dear All,

  I am new to Mac, so I may be asking something simple. I want to set Emacs as the text editor for Fetch. I went to the Prefecences page and then clicked on the Obscure pane, as per instructions. However, from the dropdown menu there I can not select Emacs as my editor (in fact I can not select anything).

  Could somebody help?

  I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  Thanks in advance.

  George

  Only some editors support the Apple Events needed for the Edit featue, and Emacs (unfortunately) is not one of them. I would recommend TextWrangler, which you can download for free from http://www.barebones.com.

  Thanks,
