I cannot meta-X compile... At home I am stuck on Win98 for the time
being.

I am trying to run Ant inside emacs, but really every script fails....

How can I get emacs to allocate a shell with the right environment
space?? 
I edited a PIF for command.com but that does not help. When I open a
regular DOS shell outside emacs  I can run Ant there just fine.

But I need to run it in emacs.... Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!
