Here's how you can help me today. Add an item on my list below.

I'm in a hostile audience of Windows programmers who cling to
Notepad++/NPPTOR.  For my lecture "Emacs has no learning curve" (
http://pj.freefaculty.org/guides/Rcourse/emacs-ess/emacs-ess.pdf) I want to
update with some explicit examples of things I can do with Emacs/ESS that
they can't do with Notepad++.

So please add on to this list.

"Emacs can do this, Notepad++ cannot."

1. Run R help page examples by hitting the letter "l".  Open the help pages
in Emacs, NOT in the web browser. Scroll to the example, and run line by
line by striking the "l" key.

No matter how basic, please contribute. There are many things about Emacs
with ESS that experts use that the rest of us never realize.

My second favorite is "C-x C-e d" to edit the code of a loaded function.
But I know many of you are uncomfortable with that one, so I won't push
it..
