Yes! Just in case anyone doesn't know, when you install joe, it adds a soft link to /usr/bin/jmacs. When you run 'jmacs', joe checks argv[0], and if it's jmacs, it binds all the functions to familar emacs commands.

This is very convenient, as joe/jmacs is about 1/16th the binary size of emacs.

There are also soft links to jpico and jstar and rjoe. jpico and jstar I assume run with bindings for pico and wordstar. I don't know what rjoe does.
