I am posting this for Mr. Lim, he was having difficulty posting it.  I point
out that the version of GNU Emacs I received, which has a working if slightly
brain-damaged dired for VMS, came via anon ftp from cc.utah.edu .

I have tried posting this to info-gnu-emacs but didn't get a good
response.

Can someone tell me if the following are possible with the VMS
version of GNU Emacs?

1) A working rmail, dired, ..., modes (modes that involved system
   calls to VMS) 
2) A VMS interactive mode that works inside of Emacs

Also have anyone installed Emacs on VMS V5.1-1?  Does Emacs work with
DECwindows?


Thanks in advance.


Willie
