Subj : MM Linux editor preff...

Hello Again All:

 [He's back... ;-]  

I'm wondering if there is a general prefference to a Linux editor
while in MultiMail? emacs is doing the job, but I'm more used to DOS's
Q-edit. Anythig closer to that? Please: vi, and vim are not even on my radar.

Mostly, I can't seem to find the docs. I installed from an ELF
version. I have a DOS install, so I'm trying to scour those when I
can. Until then, I have a few pressing issues - I hope I don't barrage
here. I'm so new to the OS, that most of my issues might be
simplistic, or better asked on a Linux echo?

1.) I really need a spell checker. BADLY! I know I have a couple at
least installed, but how does one implement them.

2.) When spawning the editor, MM shows "Unrecognized keyword: $" Is
this to be worried about? It only seems to appear in an X-terminal,
but when I run in the console, it does the funkey ANSII character
shift, with sporatic "?" marks all over. As an aside; how would one
fix that?
 
3.) Read Markers don't seem to be saved. "zip -jkq" is the default
compression, Permission are likely all wonky, as I mentioned I'm quite
new to Linux. 

4.) I've only run MM as root so far, but am a little foggy about how to
run it as a normal user. Shouldn't the mmail directory go in something
like /usr/share or some-such?

Like I say, I'm trying to read the DOS docs when the hip allows. These
seem to be augmented *NIX manuals to satisfy DOS installs?

.... Thanks in advance.         James
