I had a problem with start-process under Windows so I thought the most pertinent information would be (emacs)Windows Processes. I think it would be helpful to mention that there are a hive of w32-.* helper functions. (Which, by the way, are not seen with C-h f under Linux). There's only mentioned that asynchronous processes should work, mine did not, so I gave up searching for more information in the manual. > >> I'd like to send a patch for this help file with one sentence or so >> added. > > There's no need, I will add the necessary docs if I understand how it > would have helped you.

Sounds so easy! I'll give it a try, thanks -- Best wishes H. Dieter Wilhelm Darmstadt, Germany
