  I am one of those people who dont use a DEC supplied editor.  I use
GNUemacs for large stuff and microemacs to edit short things.  In my
login.com I have the following line

$ define/nolog mail$edit sys$login:maileditor.com

and the file maileditor.com looks like:

$ DEFINE/USER/NOLOG SYS$INPUT 'F$TRNLNM("SYS$OUTPUT")'
$ uemacs 'p1 'p2 'p3 'p4
$exit

  This way ... when I send/edit I get microemacs (uemacs) as my
editor.  Save it, and exit the editor and everything works wonderfuly.
