Hallett) Distribution: na Organization: General Electric CRD, Schenectady, NY Lines: 21 Some of you may be aware of the mp filter that was made available over the network a while ago (its purpose is to take UNIX mail files as input and process them so they will pretty-print to a PostScript printer). Well, I've been trying to call that from a call-process-input inside Emacs. If I substitute the command "cat" for the "mp" command, I get the correct output. Using "mp" as the command, gives me no output at all. Apparently, mp is doing something kind of funky with stdin that I can't determine. (I've tried using full pathnames and shell scripts too with the same effect.) If anyone out there can offer any help, I'd be much obliged. Please send me mail as I don't read some of these newsgroups much. Jeffrey A.
