kjh the author of this link has a greatintroduction to emacs: http://kieranhealy.org/resources/emacs-starter-kit.html http://kieranhealy.org/resources/emacs-starter-kit.html He also has a lot of good reference material on latex/org-mode/pandoc. Definitely a good resource to have handy if you ever have a less-techie friend who wants to get away from MS word and its ilk.
