OK, I got the pics and I must admit to being intrigued. It is  
something like this that might get me to seriously try emacs. With  
this in mind, I have three questions:

(1) As of today, what version of emacs for Mac OS X is the most user- 
friendly and/or has the nicest GUI (does the phrase GUI even apply to  
emacs?)?

(2) Does emacs do any sort of source/preview synchronization similar  
to that done by TeXShop?

(3) We won't be doing the index for some months. If any of the  
developers of TeXShop are reading this, can they tell me if folding  
features such as these are coming to TeXShop (please, please, please)?
