[Info-vax] Editors, was: Re: VT keyboard replacement

[William]

I have a version of MicroEMACS 3.9 at https://github.com/william8000/microemacs 
It has support for emulating EDT on a vt100-like keypad, and it has an entry point for linking as a callable editor with VAX/VMS MAIL.
It reads files using fabs and rabs with SYS$OPEN() and SYS$GET().
It also works under recent versions of Linux.
