PLT Scheme, a particular implementation of Scheme, does have graphics

With Windows I never got it; with Unix of any kind (linux, SunOS,

people consider typing commands to be "old-fashioned"
because pointing with a mouse is the stone-age device; typing was only
invented in the 19th century ;)
Xerox PARC (not Apple nor MIcrosoft) excelled in helping computers fit
in to how people already lived, not the other way around.

I did not know that. That will save me huge amounts of time. You're

use computers, and to accept that it will be a challenge.
And as for the arcane commands needed to get to the help page, their

Which brings me to another point: as someone already said, you could
fork the code and make all these changes, but then it would be
something else, it would stop being Emacs.
And it would stop being cool.
