I'm not sure of GNU-Emacs is designed to allow this to happen, but is it possible for a user to set it up so that emacs takes (for instance) 3/4 of the screen, and a command Unix line takes up the last 1/4 of the screen with a toggle between them? i.e. have emacs on the screen, but a Unix area as well. Possible, and if so or if not, would someone tell me how/why? My thanx...Ace -- | Ace Stewart (Jonathan III) |A /\ | | Affiliation: Eastman Kodak Company.

Try C-X 2 to split the screen on whatever you are editing, followed by M-X shell to start a shell subprocess in one of the windows. Adjust the size of the 2 windows with C-U <number> C-X ^ (the last character is "up-arrow"). Toggle between the "editing" window and the shell window C-X o. Works fine for me on my Sun 3 workstation under Sunview with gnuemacs 18.53 and csh as my default shell. See the gnuemacs manual or info files on extra stuff you have in shell-mode. --Pres -------- -> David L.
