Hi all,
does anyone know how to launch texexec in a new xterm (or in background so
during running texexec I can still do further editing)?
Thanks,
Thanh

The command below will run an xterm in the background; in the xterm
the shell will launch texexec and then launch "read", which waits for
you to hit enter so that the xterm doesn't immediately vanish:
xterm -e sh -c 'texexec --help; read input' &
You could create a simple Bourne shell script as a wrapper:
#! /bin/sh
# x-texexec
xterm -e sh -c "texexec $*; read input" &
... where "read input" makes the window stay open until you hit
enter.

I am a vim man. I was trying to switch to emacs several times, but always
had to give it up. Perhaps I am too familiar to vim already.

You refuse to accept Emacs as the One True Editor(TM)?
Infidel! :-)
Seriously, have you tried using gvim?

What's wrong with vim. It's great!
I could not find the site which features the following joke
in graphical form. IIRC:
Son: Daddy, daddy! Why are we always on the run.
Dad: It's because we use emacs son and they vi(m).

I think there is no *best* tool: editor, typesetting system, operating
system etc. Each has props and cons and someone finds some tool cool,
someone find other better.

That's right. We use neither vim or emacs but soem good old editor i wrote
long ago and so far i get my best productivity rate with that one -)
But, in any case, texexec should work with all those editors, so if there
are specific thinsg needed ...
