While at my previous company (Metagraphics), we were able to reasonably run
gnuemacs on the serial lines connected to vt-100 compatable terminals. You
can probably do the same quite easily.

As far as running it in the display_manager (DM), you are probably going to
have to hack together some kind of frontend which would at startup time, make
calls to DM (probably gpr_$ and pad_$) to set the pad into PAD_$RAW mode
and GPR_$DIRECT graphics mode. After the initial setup, it would pass the
input keystrokes (16 bit, by the by, if you are using gpr_$) and would have
the knowledge of how to display output.

If you would like to talk to somebody directly at Apollo about your problems,
there is a good chance that they will give you some general help. A good
person to call directly would be Steve Ketcham @ 256-6600 .

Good luck and please let us know how you make out...
