NT Emacs 19.34.4 and MiKTeX problem

Hello:

I'm using MiKTeX 1.0 on NT and it works great.  I'm trying to use it
with Emacs 19.34.4 (I'd prefer not to upgrade to 20.x, if at all
possible), but I'm having a few problems:

1) I use MKS sh as my default shell on NT, but this causes Emacs
   to hang when I do a C-c C-f in LaTeX mode.  I have to eventually
   kill and restart Emacs to "fix" the problem.

2) So, because of (1), I switched to using cmd.exe as my shell in
   tex-mode by setting tex-shell-file-name to "cmd.exe"  Now,
   C-c C-f does the right thing the first time I use it, the next
   time I try it, Emacs complains: "writing to process: invalid
   argument, tex-shell".  Then, the third time it works, fourth
   time it fails with the same message, etc.  Very annoying, and I'm
   not too sure what's going on.

If anyone has any ideas about either of these problems, please let me
know.  Thanks,

-Emerick
