    The MIT system, which LMI uses, has several improvements relating to
    the editor.  For example, Ztop and the Lisp (Edit) window really work,
    and provide all the session management facilities that Dyer describes.

This just isn't true, except for a limited number of subsystems that
can be run in any window.  Z succeeds because all the subsystems that
it is concerned with CAN be.  However, I think part of the complaint
was that so much of the Lisp Machine environment could not be unified
by such an interface.

I agree with the rest of what you say about Zmacs/Emacs vs Z.
