Thanks for the quick response!  Is there a way to get compile to run
syncrhonously?  Or alternatively to get the "next-error" functionality
when using shell-command?  The generation of my etags from my makefile
uses gcc to generate dependencies that are used as inputs to etags.  I'd 
like
to be able to use the "next-error" function when building etags in case I 
have
a typo in a #include or something.  So the function will either build and 
load
the etags or bring me to the line with the error that prevented a complete
dependency list from being generated.

Thanks again...

          David
