Aimed at command gp+parameters." (let ((process-environment (copy-sequence process-environment))) (setenv "TERM" "emacs") (setenv "PAGER" "cat") (setenv "LINES" "1000") (setenv "COLUMNS" (number-to-string (window-width))) (start-process process-name process-buffer-name shell-file-name shell-command-switch (concat "stty -echo onlret; " cmd)))) ----------------------------------------------------------------- with cmd = "/usr/bin/gp -s 10000000 -p 500000 --emacs" for instance. Windows even with gnuwin32 complains quite a lot. It seems that stty exists but "onlret" is unknown and the ";" does not seem to be recognized. As a matter of fact I am the maintainer of pariemacs, but I have only unix at work/home and don't know nothing about windows. it worked well for a long time until recently I had a user from the windows world trying to get everything to work. The script editing work, only calling gp in an inferior shell bugs. The error message says that "onlret;" is an invalid argument of stty (notice the ";"). If we remove the stty part, gp is indeed called but dies with a gentle "Goodbye !" (without the prompt even to be seen). I'm hard put to correct such a thing. So if anyone has an idea, I'll edit it for my user. I guess such a patch would be very useful for many others, so I'll publish it, though I'm definitely no friend of windows -- Many thanks in advance, Best, Olivier
