What demo offer?  Is this a private offer to someone, or do you have
a demo that I can get cheap?  Also, does AMACS have mouse cursor
positioning, or is it entirely key-based (I use a Kermit enhancement
to use mouse cursor positioning with mainframe Emacs, GNUEmacs, and so
on; it makes editing so much easier)?  Can it work from a ram disk
(like the Applied Engineering Z-Rams)?  Does it support extra memory
in other ways?  

Thanks for any information,
