I was wondering if  there is a  simple answer  to  running  GNU emacs from a
visible shell on a NeXT. These are the problems I encountered:

        1. From the Shell application it says terminal type is
           not powerful enough.
        2. The Terminal Application does what I want but the it
           scrolls too slowly and does not allow you to use a Meta
           key.
        3. The GNU Emacs application doesn't originate from a visible
           shell (so when you suspend it just quits!), and it doesn't
           recognize environment variables setup by your .login
