[osflash] [OT] one editor for everything (emacs)

Hi Austin :)

I just set up emacs with your actionscript-mode (for AS2) and after cleaning
up some of your specific code, I got it working nicely. I like the way emacs
integrates everything in a simples, fast and powerful platform - I can have
php files, actionscript files and my personal PIM PlannerMode accessible
from a few keystrokes. I just got the "Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd ed." from
O'Reilly. I'm in the process of setting up my development enviroment
(AS2+PHP) totally on emacs (Was using FD2 for ActionScript 2 and Eclipse +
PHPEclipse for PHP and while they're great, I really feel like giving emacs
a chance, or is it giving me a chance to try emacs? :P).

I have a question that if answered would really speed things up: I'd like to
bind a key (or key combination) for the launching of external processes (ANT
for example), how would I do that?

Cheers,

Marcelo.
