I have recently tried playing around with monkey mode under gnuemacs. I do like it better than I like dired. I would like it even better, however, if it did what its documentation says it does, i.e. put '*' before executables (and ',' before character devices, and '$' before block devices, although that's not so important). It does put '/' before directories and '@' before symlinks, as it should. Is this a local problem? We're running 18.52 under SunOS 3.4, although the behaviour seems to be similar on other machines running slightly earlier (18.49) versions of emacs, and machines running later (4.0+) versions of SunOS. Please respond via email, and I will post the solution to the group if it's not some silly local problem (and will still post if it appears others might possibly be making the same mistake).
