hi Tony,

do you mean Bill Rising?  I found the following couple of web pages
that may be useful:

http://faculty.bellarmine.edu/wrising/Stata/index.html
http://faculty.bellarmine.edu/wrising/Emacs/index.html

if this is the Bill you are thinking of, maybe we could write to him
and see if he can help out with the current problem.
