Hi there,

it might interest people in this group that "emacs" is defined in the
new edition of the Collins English Dictionary (7th edition).  The
dictionary gives the plural as "emacsen", and it is defined as follows:
"a powerful computer program used for creating and editing text,
functioning primarily through keyboard commands".

/Thomas
