By change I discovered the emacs built-in function signal-process that can send a signal not only to emacs subprocesses but also to any system process. I am wondering what is the better way to go for proced.el. It seems to me that using signal-process is the cleaner way to go. Is that right? Or would it make sense to make this configurable? Thanks, Roland
