Gnuemacs is not written in XLISP. It has it's own mini-lisp interpreter
that predates XLISP.

A mitzvah! There's a Japanese version of gnuemacs that handles 16 bit
characters. Perhaps you can use this to display hewbrew characters.  As far
as the right-to-left versus left-to-right issues, I don't know. It's
undoubtedly hard-coded in emacs.

As far as how to get this japanese gnuemacs, I haven't the slightest idea.

For more info, you should ask questions about emacs on the newsgroups
comp.emacs or gnu.emacs
