Welcome to the VC Forums!

I like your collection! A bunch of nice, diverse machines! I'm sure you'll find fans of all of them here.

Enjoy!

CTRL-Z in Emacs et. al. suspends (but not ends) the program and puts you back to your prompt. I've read that it was custom to suspend your program at the end of the day rather than ending it and starting it up again next morning. There might not even have been a shortcut key to close down the editor?
