[Bioperl-l] bioperl invades emacs

[Mark A. Jensen]

Thanks everyone for your comments so far, on and off-list. 
(You're a terrific audience. I also code for weddings and 
bar mitzvahs. Tip your servers.)
The howto page now has a "Known Issues" section, and
I will be working to eliminate those in the next couple of 
days. 

cheers Mark
