Dear XEmacs-team, I have programmed this snipplet: (start-process "mp3-play" nil "rundll32.exe" (concat "shell32.dll,ShellExec_RunDLLA " "*somefile*.mp3")) This command works well from the command line, but from within my (emacs-version) "XEmacs 21.4 (patch 6) \"Common Lisp (Windows)\" [Lucid] (i586-pc-win32, Mule) of Thu Jan 17 2002 on CHELSEA" it won't ... So, am I doing something wrong or is it a bug? I'd rather not depend on shellex.exe and since start.exe doesn't exist in WinXP I'd like to have this solution. Bye.
