Dan> When I perform a shell command on files, etc. in Dan> emacs, I just put a & after the command. This may be Dan> to simplistic, but it seems to work. Thank you for the suggestion. As Josef explain in post: http://groups.google.de/group/gnu.emacs.sources/browse_thread/thread/7= 4f5eef321a64b60/a0bf8a70d3b85ab5?q=3Ddired-do-shell-command-in-backgrou= nd&rnum=3D1&hl=3Dde#a0bf8a70d3b85ab5 this solves the problem just partially. Here I also thank Emilio for a similar suggestion. Best regards, luis Footnotes: [1] The excerpts of your message are prefixed by "Dan>". --=20 Luis Octavio Silva Pereyra.
