Just for completeness sake, Rodney's "binary" files were two set command
outputs with a single NUL character about 500 characters into an otherwise
plain ASCII text file.
I'm having trouble understanding what you meant by "And I can handle the
tools from the Tools menu." I don't use the menus at all except to copy and
paste text between XEmacs and Mac OS X (my old Powerbook doesn't have copy
or paste keys). Looking in the Tools menu I don't see anything about
ignoring the binaryness of two files.
