Ok, I give up.  Does anybody out there have any ideas about this
problem:

I am trying to run a subordinate process in gnu emacs, and pass it
input, while filtering the output into a buffer.  My filter works
find as far as I know, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how
to send the process any input.  I am starting the process with
(start-process "process-name" buffer "program-name").

This is working, and the startup messages for the program get through
my filter (which before it does anything else echos its input to the 
buffer).

OK, but now I try to (process-send-string "process-name" "text")
and any result of this function just seems to drop into a black hole.

Thanks,

--George
