The same occurs when I enter dired and try to get a directory listing. I have an idea of what needs to be done but I don't know what to do it with. The last time I saw something like this I had to set a variable to tell it where the executable was. I assume a variable of some type is not set up correctly. Whatever it is I would appreciate a pointer in the right direction. OS: Mac OS X 10.2.6 EMacs: 21.3.50.1 Thanks, Robert Pollard
