I am having trouble with the "Accessing the Operating System" functions on my newly acquired version of MicroEmacs (3.9e). For example, I do a 'shell-command' followed by a 'DIR' and the program comes back with '[END]', i.e. no directory list is displayed. I guess my main question is should all of the commands work ( except for the 'suspend-emacs' command which is documented to only work with BSD UNIX ) or is there something that the documentation is not telling me about the PC environment? Note: The executable was compiled for a monochrome PC using the MicroSoft Version 4.0 C compiler. J. James Tringali Electronic Design Engineer FileNet Corp.

Yes, all of the others should work properly. If you have filled up memory EMACS will behave as above... or there might as of yet be a problem with MicroSoft C..(I do not own that compiler) but I know the current development source works with it. You can get binaries off my BBS (listed below) which has the command working.
