Running GNU Emacs

To start GNU Emacs, type "emacs".

Note that the display indicates the version of GNU Emacs you're using and when it was installed. The third line indicates which keys are used for the "help" and "undo" functions. Normally, they're set to C-h and C-_ (that's an underscore), but they may be different for your terminal. The last line indicates the keys to press to start the GNU Emacs tutorial.
