   I've just downloaded the version of Freemacs available on Simtel.  It looks
   like a nice Emacs, but I can't get dired to work the way I expect.  ``n''
   and ``p'' seem to skip 5 or 6 directory entries at a time and the editor
   beeps at me when trying to read a file with ``f'' or ``e''.  The normal
   find-file ``^X^F'' mechanism works on those same files.

   Does anyone have any ideas?  I'm running DOS 5.0 on a PS/2 model 80.

I'll bet you that DOS 5.0 changes the output of command.com's DIR.  The
current Freemacs dired depends on it being constant.  Of course, I
never suspected that foreign language DOSes would change the names,
so dired also fails under them.  E.g. French DOS says <REP> instead
of <DIR>.

Freemacs 1.7a will use a 'ls' command for its dired.  Don't ask me
when it'll be out -- I'm off for two weeks vacation, at which point
I start a new job, and a month later there'll be another Nelson in
the household...  Can you say busy?
