	 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

The reason you had to INSTALL LSESHR.EXE was that it is mapped in to memory
(using LIB$FIND_IMAGE_SYMBOL) by MAIL, which is a privileged program.  Well,
the same applies to any private message sections that LSE uses!  Message
sections don't contain executable code, but they are mapped using the same
mechanisms as those that do.

I don't know off-hand what LSE's message section is called - it'll be in
SYS$MESSAGE, and most likely have a name ending in MSG - LSEMSG is a good
guess.  Figure out which it is, and INSTALL it, too.
