Got me, I got that info from the ad. "EMS support for editor". If it is
not in the manual, go figure.

I would assume that compilation and linking and executing would be a cast-
iron bitch in EMS, but I could be wrong. I suspect they are right when
they figure serious developers will want command line. Of course, what is a
serious developer? I want command line mainly for my editor, with its
multiple file and macro capabilites.

Keep complaining, maybe someone will listen.
