Yes!  Provided, of course, that you're running Davex on an Apple IIgs and
that you have booted through GS/OS or ProDOS 16.

But there is one thing missing:  you won't be able to use Ctrl-X ! or any
related functions that ask the shell to execute commands.  This will leave
you, for example, with no way to get a catalog listing from inside
MicroEMACS.

_Eventually_ there will be a Davex 16; with that you'll have all MicroEMACS
functionality available.
