  I use the LSE editor in VMSMail by defining MAIL$EDIT as follows:

$ Define Mail$Edit Callable_LSE

(of course, I had to install LSESHR.EXE to do this)

But then, when I'm in mail, using "send/edit", and I do things that would
normally result in messages at the bottom of the screen, like "past end
of buffer", etc., I get only message numbers, of the form below.

 Buffer $MAIN                                   Write    Insert        Forward  
Message number 03F2CE80
Message number 03F2AF11
Message number 03F2AF11

I'd prfer the standard english alpha messages, which I can understand.

I'm using "LSEDIT version V2.0-28", VMS 4.5A (the real thing, not uVMS),
on a uVAX II, which is the boot node for a LVCLuster. By the way
HELP works within LSE in this case.
