Personally, I think emacs shouldn't be used when there are much better things available. I use JEdit. Here: http://www.jedit.org/ Open the .java with it and use it to get all the files off the server or whatever comp you are connected to and use PuTTy to get the unix command line.

Are you doing it all at home and not connecting to a unix comp over the internet? If you are you could use the same printer to print as you would use if you are in the lab, although you would have to go pick it up. I know that at my school they save all documents printed at each printer in some folder rack by the printer in chronological order for about a week.
 
no no i did my java files on my windows xp machine.. i like emacs jsut cause the way it highlights the brackets and stuff for ya.. and alignment is very nice on it, but the printer thing is retarted.. ill give this JEdit a try now

and i dont need putty, cause im just trying to print the things off on my home printer that is hooked up on this machine i did the coding on anyways
