-     "Emacs is an extensible and highly customizable text editor.  It is
-based on an Emacs Lisp interpreter which has extensions to support text
-editing.  Due to its unique structure, it can be configured in an infinite
-multitude of ways, which has given rise to a vast array of packages that have
-been written for it that do everything from working as an email client to
-communicating online via IRC or XMPP.  Emacs is fully self-documenting and it
-features full Unicode support for nearly every human language.")
