Greetings,

	I am trying to invoke MicroEmacs V3.9e (Daniel M. Lawrence) inside
VMS Mail. For this purpose I wrote a command procedure MAILEMACS.COM as 
follows:

	$! MAILEMACS.COM
	$! DEFINE /USER SYS$INPUT 'F$TRNLNM("SYS$OUTPUT")'
	$ EMACS == "$$DISK1:[DCLTOOLS.EMACS]EMACS.EXE"
	$ IF P1 .EQS. "" THEN GOTO NOINPUT
	$ COPY 'P1' 'P2'
	$! SET PROTECTION=(S:RWED,G:RWED,O:RWED,W:RWED) 'P2'
	$NOINPUT:
	$ EMACS 'P2'
	$ EXIT

  When I call it by @mailemacs file1 fil2, I always get system error message:
No previlege for the operation. Set protection before EMACS 'P2' does not 
help. I can execute all these command one by one without problem. It seems
that the problem is with the COPY command. Could someone help me out?
