In an earlier message, I gave bad advice on how to get MicroEmacs to work as a
callable mail editor.  I looked to closely at an irrelevant to definition of
a DCL symbol, not at the actual file names involved.

The CORRECT information about this is:

	If MAIL$EDIT is CALLABLE_FOO, or if you have done a SET EDIT FOO,
	MAIL will look for your editor in SYS$SHARE:FOOSHR.EXE.  If both
	are defined, the SET EDIT value takes precedence.  (Interesting
	side note:  An explicit SET NOEDIT takes precendence over MAIL$EDIT,
	setting your editor to EDT.  If you exit and re-enter MAIL, MAIL$EDIT
	will once again be used.)

The error the original author was running into - "%LIB-E-KEYNOTFOU, key not
found in tree" - PROBABLY means that the selected editor does not, in fact,
support the required entry points (universal symbols) needed to act as a MAIL
shareable editor.

Sorry about the confusion.
