Peeve(s):
One thing I found bothersome with GNU Emacs is the "hardwiring"
of Control-h to a particular function on the global map.
I use backspace as my erase character and would prefer to keep
it that way.  I have redefined it to be ESC-? but the documentation
is really set upon Control-h.  I think the bindings should be more
flexible.


Question(s):
Is GNU Emacs dependant on a external lisp implementation or is
it all built in?  If it is dependant on an external lisp, can I
use xlisp instead of whatever it uses?

Is there a GNU Emacs that can be brought up on a VAX 11/750
running 4.2 and a 3B20s running System V Release 2 on the
same day?

Is there a way to define a new map?  What I am trying to do
is create a keymap for the CSI (control sequence introducer:
ESC-[) character string used on vt100's, etc.


Request(s):
If possible I would like the path to Richard M. Stallman
so I don't have to bother the world with my personal requests.

I would like any literature on Richard M. Stallman's company
and/or employer, Lisp Machines Inc.

I would like the next distribution of GNU Emacs when it comes out.
I prefer to send a tape.  I have a previous version but can wait
since I am in the middle of getting a VAX ready for use.

Thanks.
