Thank you all for your answers. I can imagine that vim is not too bad,
after having tried it a bit. But until I find time to find out how to
do:
1) Auto-Indent with Tab
2) Execute ruby file in another frame with F5
3) Manage multiple buffers comfortably
I will have to stick to xemacs. Though it seems to me that the most
common commands are in the standard setting better "huffmann coded"
than the emacs variants.

best regards,

Brian
