If I use just ls on its own then no error and I see output as expected but
using ls -al I get ls.exe has stopped working dialog and emacs reports Shell
command failed with code 253 and no output).

I am running GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600) on Windows 7.

Anyone any ideas?

I am quite new to emacs so there may be some tip which would prevent this
issue?

Angus
