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.
