I fixed the problem by forcing bash to run an interactive shell. I also changed my bash startup files some so that now I have one which only does environment variable settings, as so: (setq shell-file-name "c:\\bash\\bin\\bash.exe") (setq shell-command-switch "-rcfile c:\\mbk\\.bashrc_env -i -c") (setq hexlify-command "hexl -hex ") (setq dehexlify-command "hexl -hex -de ") With these settings, I was still having a problem with hexl mode in that saving a hexl buffer corrupted the file. (It appeared to "hexlify" the buffer contents _again_ before writing to the file instead of "dehexlifying" them, if you follow me.) I've just stumbled onto a fix for this problem this morning: I need to quote the hexlify and dehexlify commands: (setq hexlify-command "\"hexl -hex \"") (setq dehexlify-command "\"hexl -hex -de \"") I'm not sure why I need to do this, but it appears to work.

For those interested, here are the details: First, as David Rosinger pointed out, you need to use a shell other than windows 95's default command.com; I'm using bash. This fixes the problem of the subprocess not being invoked, but I had an additional problem with saving a hexl mode buffer corrupting the file. (It appeared to "hexlify" the buffer contents _again_ before writing to the file instead of "dehexlifying" them, if you follow me.) I fixed this problem by putting extra double quotes around the settings for hexlify-command and dehexlify-command as shown below. Here are the settings from my .emacs file: Note that .bashrc_env is a startup file which only sets environment variables. (setq shell-file-name "c:\\bash\\bin\\bash.exe") (setq shell-command-switch "-rcfile c:\\mbk\\.bashrc_env -i -c") (setq hexlify-command "\"hexl -hex \"") (setq dehexlify-command "\"hexl -hex -de \"") These settings also cleaned up another problem I was having in which the ouput from a makefile was not appearing in a compilation buffer. Hope this helps.

There are a number of alternative shells you can use. I use CMD32.EXE which comes with the Win32 Perl 5 distribution (doesn't work interactively, but works well for hexl, ediff, metamail, ftp and make). The registry setting under Software/GNU/Emacs/SHELL controls what your default shell is, or there are some variables you can set in your .emacs In addition to the SHELL environment variable, I have the following in my .emacs (the path is probably not neccesary, but I did have problems with the default options for dehexilifying.
