I just noticed that the help text for the VMS Debugger for HELP SET EDITOR
mentions the option: SET EDITOR /CALLABLE_EMACS. So I tried it, asked to
edit a source file, and got the error message:

%DEBUG-I-EDITERROR, error while trying to EDIT
%LIB-E-ACTIMAGE, error activating image DUA0:[SYS0.][SYSLIB]EMACSSHR.EXE;
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found

My question is: where can we get a sharable image for Emacs that would be
"callable"? Is there a way to build GNU Emacs to do this? Or, is this just a
reference to the Emacs that VMS developers are rumoured to have been playing
with for a few years?

Thanks,

-Jon
