Several versions of Emacs are available on Athena. GNU Emacs 21
(version 21.1.1) is the default version as of Athena 9.1. If you login
to an older Athena 9.0 workstation, the default Emacs will be GNU
Emacs 20 (version 20.7) Other versions of GNU Emacs are often
available in the emacs locker.

Additionally, there is another version of emacs, XEmacs available on
Athena. It traditionally has had a nicer X interface, and also a
different set of lisp. To run it, use the commands:

add xemacs
xemacs &
