Extra Credit 1 - UMBC-CMSC104/General GitHub Wiki

This extra credit assignment is worth up to 10 points toward your homework/classwork combined grade. For this extra credit assignment, I need a guide for running and using the emacs text editor. In order to figure this out, you'll likely need:

• Google to figure certain things out
• A Linux console (UMBC's GL) to play around with
• The willingness to experiment despite not necessarily knowing what you're doing

Key things that I would like to see:

• How to start Emacs
• How to save files
• How to copy/paste using only the keyboard
• How to enable syntax highlighting
• How to enable automatic indentation

Things that will help your extra credit grade:

• Clear explanations
• Pictures demonstrating how to do things (Greenshot is a good open source tool for taking pictures of your desktop)
• At least 1 to 2 pages if not more.

You have until the 12/13 (that's the day of the final) to turn this in.
