[ILUG] emacs and w3

[Darragh]

Unfortunately at the moment I cant use X so I'm restricted to the bash
prompt.  Emacs seems to be a very confusing application but another
application that I need is in there so there you are.  I'm going to try
installing the cvs version again tomorrow.  Before that how do I delete any
reference to w3 from Linux?  I don't want anything to conflict.
