It might be wise to modify Emacs to do that. Emacs does do the ls first. Perhaps the Emacs PROBLEMS section can suggest that users use GNU fileutils df on older SVR4 and SunOS 4.x hosts, to avoid that problem on those hosts. If that is what's happening, your proposal seems reasonable. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
