Hi all,
I am in the process of switching to eshell, and my experience so far has
been good, except one thing that I made a function by "(defun
eshell/vi...) like the one Kai did, but after finding the file, it runs
viper mode, (hay, that is what vi supposted to do right). The problem is
that I cannot get the eshell to know my lisp function vi. I put the
elisp into a file, and load-in in .emacs, and it took no effect. I
wonder what is the trick to get eshell notics my functions.
thanks.
steve

I have this:
(defun eshell/vi (&rest args)
"Invoke vi, flattening the arguments appropriately."
(funcall 'find-file (apply 'eshell-flatten-and-stringify args)))
(put 'eshell/vi 'eshell-no-numeric-conversions t)
It seems to work without any further setup. If you copy the above
verbatim, does it also work for you?
What does your, failing, function look like?
