I have a few requests, though, which I would take care of myself if I really felt like ftp'ing all the source (I just grab your binaries) and wading through it to find the right lines... (1) As we all know, well-thought-out command shells glob the command line for you. NT's, though, doesn't, so apps have to do it themselves. Since NT Emacs doesn't, "runemacs file.*" doesn't work the way one would like it to. Think you could slip in some #ifdef _WIN32 code to take care of this? (2) I have edited my registry to associate the command 'runemacs "%1"' with the "open" action (NT 4.0) for text files so I can bring Emacs up by double-clicking on a file in the Explorer. This works, but Emacs always gets the 8.3 MS-DOS filename rather than the long filename, which is mildly annoying. Any idea why this should be? The effect seems to be the same whether or not I enclose %1 in quotes. However, if I change "runemacs" to "notepad", notepad.exe gets the long filename. (3) Attempting to close Emacs via the system menu (or NT 4.0 close button) seems to do nothing but display "Quit" in the minibuffer when there are modified buffers. I would expect it to act just like C-x C-c. Again, thanks for doing such good work with NT Emacs. Craig
