Some places I know, they use "less" which is even worse: | It aborts if run within cmushell. | | As a first remedy, | I would like to do the equivalent of "PAGER=cat; export PAGER" | whenever the cmushell is loaded, i.e. in 'cmushell-mode-hook. If you build gnu emacs with MAINTAIN_ENVIRONMENT defined, this adds a function called putenv (build you loose the normal process-environment semantics). Thus you can do the following in your .emacs file: (putenv "PAGER" "cat") If you do not have putenv defined, you could rumage through the process-environment list, substituting the appropriate definition for PAGER. -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 You are in a twisty little passage of standards, all conflicting.
