1. You can use the library `ledit' to talk to a Lisp
that is a child of the same shell that Emacs is under.
I don't know if you can get them into separate windows
that way.

2. There are some hooks for a facility for talking
to other processes that make connections with Emacs,
but I have not finished the code and have not distributed it.
I decided it was more important to keep Emacs small than
to add those features.

3. You could write a C program for communicating with Lisp,
and then run that C program as an inferior of Emacs

4. Emacs v17 will contain support for the mouse under the X
window system, and it probably will be possible to adapt
that to the Sun window system.
