You could get a copy of Dave Cuny's EE editor, which
can run or bind a program from the menu. It's in the package
text-gui (which is worth getting for other reasons as well).

Impossible? For me, yes. For you .. I don't know.
Will it happen? My best guess is *highly unlikely*,
from what Robt. Craig has said about this in the past.
You would lose several really neat features and
a lot of protection, is my understanding.
I'd be interested in the details. It seems to me

Not exactly. (Any further explanation will require someone
smarter than me. Ralf?)
