- I have found mention of *@so-long.el@* for emacs which is supposed to help with long lines.
We should investigate.

Both work.

- Added sleep to ConfigEmacs mac and linux
-
- updated accordingly the scripts in @release-files/@
-
- Good point! I think we should set the same timings in the installation script (for Mac it's called @ConfigEmacs@)
-
- One could argue that this is relatively unimportant for normal users (_i.e._ those who download CoCoA-5) since they _...
