   I had been using micro Emacs for a few months. Though this editor was
powerful and compact, I wanted to use an editor which was more compatible
to Gnu Emacs on UNIX system. Then I encountered FreEmacs. It was FreEmacs
that satisfied my needs.

   However, there is a problem now. I always use the DOS version of Gnu's 
"ls" instead of DOS "DIR" command. So I would like the dired-mode of FreEmacs
to use "ls" instead of DOS "DIR" command.
   Besides my preference about directory list format, there is a reason
why I would like the dired-mode to use "ls". My computer is IBM compatible
machine which can treat Japanese two-bit code system. The MS-DOS on my 
computer displays all messages in Japanese, that is, the DOS messages
including that of DIR command's contain two-byte code, while FreEmacs does
NOT accept tow-byte code. Therefore, the dired-mode of FreEmacs does not
work on my computer.
   Have you modify the dired-mode and use "ls" instead of "DIR" command
in FreEmacs? I will looking for your advice. Thank you for your courtesy.
