ELLE is an Emacs clone for MINIX. The name is a recursive acronym that means "ELLE Looks Like Emacs". It is a very light editor developed by Ken Harrenstein. ELLE is not full Emacs but it has about 80 commands and is quite fast. It has a small number of commands compared to other editors. All of them are either of the form CTRL-x or are on the numeric keypad.
