Debian and Emacs W3

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suggest you pull the color-themes package and play with it, it
will help you out with W3 and other emacs packages as well

    Tim> emacspeak is still the best solution. I do expect to

    Tim> use w3 again more often.

    Tim> The only really irritating thing missing from w3 is a
    Tim> bookmarks feature - when I try to use bookmarks, it

    Tim> puzzling as it certainly use to be there.
