Hi, I have the latest version of Mac OS and I'm a Linux user.  I have a
couple how to questions.  How do I set up multiple active windows like
I could in Gnome?  How do I use lick and paste like in gnome between
all windows?  How do I set up Emacs to run  in a  pop-up window?
Thanks, Rudy Magyar

without trying to make it
"... work like my linux <insert stupid linux distro name and version

I'm not sure about those two.

The version of emacs that comes standard with the OS from Apple isn't X 
enabled. You need to install a version that is. Fortunately, one of the 
things that quickly sold me on OS-X is that pretty much all the things I 
was used to in Linux and other Unix variants is also available under 
OS-X. This includes all the usual Emacs variants.

(If the rather... um... rude attitude that you got from ...um... another 
poster was the full story, I wouldn't be a Mac user today. But OS-X 
isn't like that, and neither are all of its users.)

I happen to like XEmacs, but you presumably could also install an 
X-enabled version of Gnu Emacs if that is your preference (and the
only reason I say presumably is that I haven't personally done it
myself - I've heard that others have).

There are a bunch of ways to get an XEmacs (or X-enabled Gnu Emacs) 
installed. My personal favorite is via fink, which can install a lot
of the "usual" Unix things that might not happen to come pre-installed
for you. (Some people dislike fink - some of them vehemently - but I'm  
mostly happy with it). See http://fink.sourceforge.net.

Or I presume you could download an emacs or xemacs distribution direct 
from their original sources if you preferred that route.

If you don't know the answer, you could just not answer.  But, at least
I know I won't risk missing anything important by giving you a
