	Emacstool allows you to assign commands to all of the Sun function
keys, unshifted, shifted, and with the control key depressed.  This makes
it very easy to build a keyboard map that is easy to use and understand.
First time users of Emacs need not open a manual or use the built in help.
(They never do anyway :-) )
	Using the mouse is also *very* useful.  There are many builtin
capabilities for the mouse.
	
	For the above two reasons, we must use emacstool.  In your posting,
you stated that you had cut and paste builtin to your version of
emacs.  I am using Gnu Emacs 18.52.  What version do you use?
	I don't know of any version of Gnu Emacs that supports cut and
paste between a COMMANDtool and emacstool.  Yes it works with shelltools,
but no one uses shelltools anymore (except as dumb terminals for remote login).

	Please let me know if you've really gotten it to work.
