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
