You're right. You wouldn't be using a 386 -- too modern for your

None of the nasty things that you have said or implied about me are at

Of course. It's the waiting.

My systems support multitasking...

Which won't make the emacs-batch crud thingy have a result for you any
sooner. The reverse, if anything.

Watching the screen flicker a few times a
second between a command prompt and emacs with its mini-buffer
flickering in and out of existence as it processes ghostly input.

Why would anything flicker between a command prompt and emacs?

Because emacs keeps opening and closing, puppeted by a script, in this
hypothetical scenarion, remember?

No, YOU should.
