a question

[Dave Braunegg <DJB%MIT-OZ@MIT-MC.ARPA>]

There are several system programs that call up EMACS as a sub-fork
(MM, LISP, and WATSON come to mind as examples).  Is there any way to
get these programs to use an existing EMACS fork instead of calling up
a new one?  This would save a lot of waiting around when the load is
high and also save the system a bit of work and core if it could use
the existing copy instead of making a new one.

Thanks,
Dave
