It will never get any input (if (comint-check-proc (current-buffer)) nil (start-process "ielm" (current-buffer) "cat") When I just installed Emacs 21 on a friend's windows machine without any unix-like tools on it, M-x ielm would not work because he did not have cat installed. Can we replace the cat program with anything else? Alex. This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation, not to your local site managers! Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
