Stallman) 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.
