that worked on getxinfo, emacs and perl but it griped about pico.
(it says it can't read the +CONTENTS file so it must not be a package)
emacs starts up okay but perl locks the computer (not enough memory?)
and if I try to start pico it says
pico: Command not found
pico's not crucial but it sure would be nice for it to work
 
thanks for the help w/emacs as that was the most crucial one.
