Part of the reason I first started using JOE was because of its simple 
help interface: its entire command set is summed up in a few 
well-organized help pages that sit at the top of your screen. EMACS's 
info-page-within-a-buffer interface is quite confusing for new users. 
(Though admittedly, you have to dig through the options menu to find 
rectangle selection.)

Perhaps a good way for a newbie to learn EMACS is to start with JOE's 
EMACS mode :P
