Agreed, but accept-process-output is not always slow and we don't always get to choose. I've hacked my Emacs to signal an error if accept-process-output is called (without timeout) with inhibit-quit set to non-nil and discovered that some package (IIRC, flyspell) does exactly that. Of course, ispell is a local process that always responds immeditely, right? Anyway: how could flyspell do its job without calling accept-process-output from a timer or a post-command-hook? Stefan
