The command-line options that Emacs understands is unrelated to what
libraries it was compiled against. There wasn't any point in Apple
compiling the Emacs that they were supplying against the X11 libraries
if they weren't planning on supplying X11. I don't have 10.3 yet, but
it will be interesting to see if the Emacs that comes with it was
compiled for X11 support since X11 comes with 10.3.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I could install a different version of
emacs (and I just may do that at some point), but my original point is
that the pre-installed Apple /usr/bin/emacs claims to understand X11
(according to the "-help" information) but doesn't. This means
something is wrong with the way in which it was compiled. If it
doesn't understand X11, it shouldn't claim to in the "-help". If it
claims to, it should. End of issue.
If Apple's pre-installed emacs simply understood what it claims to
understand, then I wouldn't need to take up even more space on my disk
installing yet another copy of the program. :(
