To all those who responded to my question about attaching to an
emacs process from subprocesses...Thanks.

The problem was that we had an OLD (i.e 4 years or so) version of
emacs - which was built before several crucial VMS modifications were
done.  That version was capable of suspending (we did know about
kepteditor.com...) but it was only capable of reattaching to the
particular process that spawned it.  If you shelled out to a subprocess,
and attempted to attach to emacs, you'd get a new one (and then there'd
be two ;-).

The solution was to install a newer version - which turned out to
be remarkably painless (especially compared to the original
installation where I had to build from source using GCC when the
code was set up to use VMS C - which was decidedly nonstandard at the
time.  OWWW!).

Again, I'd like to thank all those who responded - especially
Hal Brand for doing most of the work, and for providing the necessary
files in an extremely convenient form.

Regards,
John
