I haven't heard that before. (I confess that I have not tried it.) dired and shell work fine in the native Windows port of Xemacs. They also work fine under unix. I can't think of any reason why they shouldn't work under cygwin. In any case, the GNU Emacs folks are on record as saying it will be difficult to port to cygwin, so you would probably have better luck fixing Xemacs, if in fact it is broken. Are you aware that many of the lisp packages have been unbundled from the Xemacs distribution? Could that be your problem. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
