Howdy,

I've almost completed the transition from using a terminal emulator to
using Emacs exclusively, by using Dired, Ange-ftp, etc. (not that I
was trying, I just noticed how much more convenient it is).

The one remaining problem is executing shell commands that need root
permission.  I can use Dired and edit files with "/su::" tramp-mode,
however sometimes I just need to execute a command.  I have sudo
installed on Slackware Linux 12.0, but the password prompt does not
come up properly.

Thanks,
Joel
