- What NeXTstep needs is an independent USER AGENT object that sits outside
- of any and all programs, accepts commands in some suitable language, and
- executes them. If the language happened to be elisp, then that set of
- capabilities could be extracted from emacs. Emacs could still use it to
- work exacctly the way it works now. Edit could use it. NeXTMail could
- use it. All god's chillun could use it.
