================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
Under Vista Enterprise (32-bit), XEmacs is unable to launch external
programs. For example alt-! and "dir" to do a simple dir (or grep,
or whatever) fails.
"Searching for program: invalid argument, c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe"
or
"Searching for program: invalid argument, c:\util\4nt\4nt.exe"
or
"Searching for program: invalid argument, c:\Perforce\p4.exe"
The command changes, obviously, depending on what I'm trying to launch.
