     i believe there's no way to bring up a preloaded tex on an apollo
at sr9.7 because there is no way to dump an image of the running tex.
maybe, this is *fixed* at sr10.

i doubt if adding some code from gnu emacs to tex will help.  otherwise,
we should also be able to have a preloaded emacs.

basically, what you (and i and many other people) should do is to
shout to apollo.com for them to put back some vanilla into their
domain/ix.  i would like "kill -quit" to dump a core which may be
undump-ed.  the core may be used with /com/debug so that i may debug
my program in the middle and not always with main().
