[Coco] Uemacs

So, I have my OS9 system up and running.  Not tethered to a Pi,
but running DriveWire anyway.

Now I have been working on getting Uemacs working so I have a
usable full screen editor.  I am doing all my work logged in
remotely using Putty so after much futzing around IO have built
two versions of Uemacs.  One for an ANSI terminal and another
for the COCO screen and keyboard.  Curious if anyone else has
ever made this work?  Ran into a number of problems getting it
to build but I found workarounds.  Only problem now is I have
to turn off echo manually before starting Uemacs up.  There is
a routine call ttopen() which is supposed to do that but as
near as I can tell I don't think it even gets called.  The
same problem exists in both versions.  And, as a side  note,
the Password prompt for login doesn't successfully turn echo
off either.  :-)
