Artificial Intelligence Lab. Lines: 14 I've just downloaded the version of Freemacs available on Simtel. It looks like a nice Emacs, but I can't get dired to work the way I expect. ``n'' and ``p'' seem to skip 5 or 6 directory entries at a time and the editor beeps at me when trying to read a file with ``f'' or ``e''. The normal find-file ``^X^F'' mechanism works on those same files. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm running DOS 5.0 on a PS/2 model 80.
