I agree, it would be nice, but it's not right the right option.  I wrote
a small C program that just prints its arguments, and called it me.prg
(the name Mark Williams gives to their uEmacs derivative) and put it in
my \bin directory.  Then I ran the C compiler on a program with a
deliberate error so it would invoke my me.prg.  Well, the option the
compiler used was -e, not -A.  This would be an easy fix, but uEmacs
uses the -e option for something else.  What I was thinking of was a
small program called me.prg which changes the -e to a -A and runs
emacs.prg.  Then the file error.cmd would become useful.  Anybody got
one yet?
