## Exercises

  1. If you haven't already done so, make an association for HTML files with Emacs. You will see that there is already an association with a Web browser, which is handy for viewing the HTML file. Can you create another association that lets you edit with Emacs instead of viewing it?

  2. From the command line, find a suitable text file (say, c:\autoexec.bat). Use gnuclient and gnuclientw to have Emacs open the file. What is the difference between them? (To close out the file when you are finished, C-x k kills the buffer without saving changes. C-x c exits.)

  3. To see what gnudoit does, go to a command line and type one of the following:

>     gnudoit (beep)
>     gnudoit (message \"Hi there!\")

  What results did you get? (Check the minibuffer after the second experiment.)
