Thanks - this is what I did indeed finally do. Prior to this I didn't
even have gcc installed my my machine, so compiling emacs with X11
support was a lot for me to learn.

There is one thing I don't quite like though - `emacs -nw' appears to
use only black and white now - I'm sure the colour sheme was different
before. Still, that doesn't matter much, and I can probably figure
that out if I really feel the need.
