A (find-name-dired "anydir" "anypattern") results in: =>   n:/anydir/:   find . \( -name 'anypattern' \) -exec ls -ld {} \;   find: paths must precede expression   Usage: find [path...] [expression]   find exited abnormally with code 1... Apparently Emacs has some problem with the path specification, as it can't process a `.' here.  The same problem happens in the eshell as well, if I specify `.' as path. However, find works in the Dos-box as expected, as well as with (shell-command "find .").  So I think the issue is not with find.exe (from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/). Can you help me? /FAU
