On NeXT 1.0.1, GNU Emacs 18.53, Front End 1.0

I've been using your front end for some months now, and find it very
handy.

There are only two things that I miss:

1. It would be nice if there were some way to signal other NeXT
applications.  (e.g. to send a request to FrameMaker to open a given
file).

2. It would be nice if the NeXT would message Emacs instead of its own
text Editor on text files.  But this would mean that Emacs would have
to understand the NeXT messaging system.

Any hope of these being incorporated into a future release?  Some sort
of minimal C interface which allowed writing Lisp functions on top
would be ideal.

(Of course, when Emacs version Grail -- um, I mean 19 -- comes out, I
hope the GNU Emacs Next front end will support multiple windows.)
