You may try expanding the stack with exemod. >(2) When I run uEmacs3.9 (w/o the .rc file, of course) under MS-DOS (I >am using a Zenith zfl-181, with 640K RAM), the shell commands (^X! and >^X@) don't work.

Does ME 3.9e expand tabs to a user definable size? And if so, can it be set in the startup script file?
