Here's what I get if I run the = version command: GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2014-10-24 on LEG570 I had previous versions on Emacs installed. I extracted the 24.4 files from the zip and started the executable a few ti= mes by running runemacs.exe If previous jobs I had got used to using bash as the shell in emacs. In my= current job I do not program so much and I had not got the shell commands = to work. I was excited therfore to see was that ESC-! and ESC-x shell worke= d out of the box, and that they ran bash commands or started a bash shell. Then I noticed a little typo in the name of the directory where I had unpac= ked Emacs. So I deleted all the old stuff and unpacked Emacs again. Now s= hell and Esc-! shell-command start a DOS shell and accept only DOS commands= . Then I realized I had not moved the PATH to the new installation, so I edit= ed the Windows PATH variable (the directory structure seems different from = Emacs of a couple of years ago). But still no bash shell - only DOS. What do I need to do? PATH is : C:\Emacs;C:\Emacs\share\emacs\24.4\etc;C:\Emacs\share\info;C:\Emacs\bin;C:\= Emacs\share\emacs\24.4\lisp;C:\Emacs\share\emacs\24.4\site-lisp;C:\Emacs\sh= are\info;C:\Emacs\share\man;C:\Emacs\share\man\man1; I know it's overkill, but I don't know what the minimum would be.
