In GNU Emacs 18.54.2 of Sat Feb 10 1990 on icule (usg-unix-v) For my previous message about SHELL vs ESHELL with suspend-emacs where there is no job control, I have a satisfactory workaround. suspend-emacs looks directly at the SHELL environment variable, while shell-command and shell-command-on-region looks only indirectly to it through the elisp variable shell-file-name, which itself gets initialized after the SHELL environment variable. It is sufficient to change the value of shell-file-name in the .emacs file. So, the selected shells will be: suspend-emacs from SHELL (set in .bash_login) shell from ESHELL (set in .bash_login) shell-command from shell-file-name (set in .emacs) -- Franc,ois Pinard pinard@iro.umontreal.ca (514) 588-4656 ``Vivement GNU!'' ...!uunet!iros1!pinard
