I am trying to figure out the best way to unlock the file I am currently editing in emacs on the Mac. I need to have some type of lisp command I believe that calls the shell and execute a command. I just don't know how to do this and it seems like it should be straight forward. Thanks in advance for your help, Susan -- ============================================================ Susan G.
