I propose that the information is also mentioned in 31.7::call-process because at the same page, this is mentioned in context of another command: -- Function: process-file program &optional infile buffer display &rest args This function processes files synchronously in a separate process. It is similar to `call-process' but may invoke a file handler based on the value of the variable `default-directory'. The current working directory of the subprocess is `default-directory'. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2010-11-30 Jari Aalto * processes.texi (Synchronous Processes): In `call-process' description, mention `default-directory'.
