	I really like the EMACS editor because it is very flexible and I have
version for my personal computer called MicroEMACS.  I was delighted when I
found a version on the VAX.  However, it is not very popular here (probably
because the CTRL-S sequence puts the DEC VT220 terminals in the hold screen
mode rather then sending a ^S to EMACS) and not many people use it or know much
about it.  I would like to know how to send mail from EMACS's mail mode.  EMACS
always tells me "No Such Device  TMP:EMACS082490" when I try to send mail.  The
VAX MAIL program, when tied in with the TPU editor writes to a file called
"MAIL_20450A3B_SEND.TMP."  Also, the RMAIL program does not access the
MAIL.MAI file where most mail on the VAX is placed and stored.  What can I do
to be able to use these modes on EMACS running on VAX/VMS?

	I believe I accidently sent you an incomplete message.  I am sorry.  As
I was typing, I realized I did not know the error message EMACS was giving me,
and tried to escape without send the message so I could access EMACS and find
out.  I think I hit the wrong key.
