But if I try to exit the parent shell with the "exit" command, the shell hangs, waiting for the emacs process to complete. If I kill the shell by double-clicking on the close box, the emacs window is also killed immediately, without prompting for a save. I'm not running the emacs executable from a script or batch file. Other NT applications don't "hang on" to the console window like this, which leads me to believe this is a bug. - ------ C J Lin cjlin@netcom.com ------- End of forwarded message ------- From owner-ntemacs-users@june Tue Oct 1 15:48:10 1996 X-VM-v5-Data: ([nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] [nil "Wed" " 2" "October" "1996" "07:17:58" "+1000" "Geoff Thompson" "geoff@hpccm800.aus.hp.com" nil "32" "Re: Setting the startup directory for emacs" "^From:" nil nil "10" nil nil nil nil] nil) Received: from joker.cs.washington.edu (joker.cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.42]) by june.cs.washington.edu (8.7.6/7.2ju) with SMTP id PAA10920 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 1996 15:48:09 -0700 Received: from june.cs.washington.edu (june.cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.4]) by joker.cs.washington.edu (8.6.12/7.2ws+) with ESMTP id PAA16891 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 1996 15:48:08 -0700 Received: from relay.hp.com (relay.hp.com [15.255.152.2]) by june.cs.washington.edu (8.7.6/7.2ju) with ESMTP id OAA02669 for ; Tue, 1 Oct 1996 14:19:48 -0700 Received: from hpccm800.aus.hp.com by relay.hp.com with ESMTP (1.37.109.16/15.5+ECS 3.3) id AA063414681; Tue, 1 Oct 1996 14:18:03 -0700 Received: from hpccm716.aus.hp.com by hpccm800.aus.hp.com with SMTP (1.39.111.2/16.2) id AA006174621; Wed, 2 Oct 1996 07:17:01 +1000 Received: by hpccm716.aus.hp.com (1.38.193.4/CCM-Client) ; id ; Wed, 2 Oct 1996 07:17:58 +1000 Message-Id: <8413.9610012117@hpccm716.aus.hp.com> In-Reply-To: <9610011604.AA03466@marathos.ingres.com> References: <199610011251.IAA28988@mks.com> <9610011604.AA03466@marathos.ingres.com> From: Geoff Thompson To: cowan02@cai.com Cc: ntemacs-users@cs.washington.edu Subject: Re: Setting the startup directory for emacs Date: Wed, 2 Oct 1996 07:17:58 +1000 Hi, I just did it - Alt+Enter over start bar brings up taskbar properties window. Pick the tab "Start Menu Programs" and select "Advanced". This opens Explorer - you need to find Emacs. It's buried under WinNT-Profiles-All Users-Start Menu-Prograns Select the Emacs icon when it is displayed on the RH window of Explorer and select File-Properties. Select the tab Shortcut, and edit the field callled "Start in" I set this to C:\users\%USERNAME% and it worked fine Regards, Geoff ___________________________________________________________________________ Geoff Thompson CiTR / Hewlett-Packard Phone: +61 7 3858 2269 16 McDougall St Fax: +61 7 3858 2285 Milton Email: geoff@hpccm800.aus.hp.com Australia 4072 ___________________________________________________________________________ N W + E .-_|\ CiTR, "If the deck's been stacked before the deal S / * Brisbane, You learn to compromise" \_.-._/ Qld. - Kev Carmody v From owner-ntemacs-users@trout Fri Mar 14 14:03:58 1997 X-VM-v5-Data: ([nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] [nil "Fri" "14" "March" "1997" "15:57:33" "-0500" "Gord Irish" "gord.irish@teleride.on.ca" nil "22" "RE: [jcfried@ix.netcom.com: Re: emacs on NT domains]" "^From:" nil nil "3" nil nil nil nil] nil) Received: from joker.cs.washington.edu (joker.cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.42]) by june.cs.washington.edu (8.8.5+CS/7.2ju) with SMTP id OAA29038 for ; Fri, 14 Mar 1997 14:03:57 -0800 Received: from trout.cs.washington.edu (trout.cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.178]) by joker.cs.washington.edu (8.6.12/7.2ws+) with ESMTP id OAA42116 for ; Fri, 14 Mar 1997 14:03:56 -0800 Received: from june.cs.washington.edu (june.cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.4]) by trout.cs.washington.edu (8.8.5+CS/7.2ws+) with ESMTP id NAA22296 for ; Fri, 14 Mar 1997 13:03:42 -0800 (PST) Received: from seraph.uunet.ca (uunet.ca [142.77.1.254]) by june.cs.washington.edu (8.8.5+CS/7.2ju) with ESMTP id NAA23921 for ; Fri, 14 Mar 1997 13:03:36 -0800 Received: from tsltor by seraph.uunet.ca with UUCP id <656758-15161>; Fri, 14 Mar 1997 16:03:26 -0500 Received: from sleepy by falcon.teleride.on.ca with smtp (Smail3.1.26.7 #5) id m0w5e7n-000a1SC; Fri, 14 Mar 97 16:02 EST Message-Id: <3.0.1.32.19970314155733.00966a60@dragon> X-Sender: gordi@dragon X-Mailer: Windows Eudora Light Version 3.0.1 beta 14 (32) In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" From: Gord Irish To: jherbers@dialogosweb.com (Joseph E.

The Emacs window comes up, the menus come up and will drop down, the status bar doesn't show up and nothing works. I have to kill it with the Task Mangler. Simply starting again from the shortcut always works fine. Somtimes it starts all the way up on the first attempt. This is running on NT 4.0 with a slow domain controller. Is it possible that Emacs makes requests to the domain controller that are timing out? - gord --------------------------------------------------- Gord Irish g.irish@ieee.ca
