MicroEmacs 3.8b, as posted in mod.sources, simply does not work on the
ST without a number of minor but serious modifications. The 'st520.c' file
was apparently never tried: it contains an error in the initialisation
of the terminal data structure which caused it not to even link successfully
on Mark Williams C (the message was meaningless to me, but the error was
definitely with st520.c, not with MWC).

After making this and other patches, I have got it to work, and use it on
a regular basis. 

The patches were posted to comp.emacs, and (to cut down net traffic) I am
unwilling to post them here. I will email them to anyone who asks.
