Windows 2000 Pro / bash shell solved

["Jeff Rancier" <jeff dot rancier at softechnics dot com>]

Hello.

I had a different version of shell.el in my load-path.  The only difference
was in the function shell(), the "-i" was missing and caused bash (or
something) to fail.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

(defun shell ()
  (interactive)
  (if (not (comint-check-proc "*shell*"))
      (let* ((prog (or explicit-shell-file-name
		       (getenv "ESHELL")
		       (getenv "SHELL")
		       "/bin/sh"))
	     (name (file-name-nondirectory prog))
	     (startfile (concat "~/.emacs_" name))
	     (xargs-name (intern-soft (concat "explicit-" name "-args")))
	     shell-buffer)
	(save-excursion
	  (set-buffer (apply 'make-comint "shell" prog
			     (if (file-exists-p startfile) startfile)
			     (if (and xargs-name (boundp xargs-name))
				 (symbol-value xargs-name)
			       '("-i"))))

------------------------------^^^


	  (setq shell-buffer (current-buffer))
	  (shell-mode))
	(pop-to-buffer shell-buffer))
    (pop-to-buffer "*shell*")))
