The criterion is fine, as far as I'm concerned. At least gnuplot can be taught to live with it. What I'm less sure about is whether the wait loop for this subshell should affect all the rest of Emacs, too. At the moment, it blocks all user interaction until the external process is finished, or C-g is pressed. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker@physik.rwth-aachen.de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
