What NeXTstep needs is an independent USER AGENT object that sits outside
of any and all programs, accepts commands in some suitable language, and
executes them.  If the language happened to be elisp, then that set of
capabilities could be extracted from emacs.  Emacs could still use it to
work exacctly the way it works now.  Edit could use it.  NeXTMail could
use it.  All god's chillun could use it.
