In view of the misinformation about Epsilon recently posted to this
newsgroup, I am posting this reply as a courtesy to Todd Doucet of
Lugaru Software Ltd.  Mr. Doucet is a personal friend, but I have
no affiliation with his company, except as an Epsilon user.

Dear Mr. Cramer:

You keep repeating that Epsilon does not allow compiling or shell interaction
in a window.  Several people have told you that it does indeed, yet you
remain unconvinced.  I believe you are confused because Epsilon has more
than one process command.

There is a command named PUSH, which is bound to C-X C-E.  That works as you
said:  it fires up an inferior program, and returns to Epsilon when that
program exits.

There is another process command called START-PROCESS, which is bound to
C-XC-M (not C-X<Enter>).  That command indeed fires up a shell, or compiler,
etc, and CONCURRENTLY executes it while you continue to use Epsilon.

These commands are extensively documented in the Epsilon Reference Manual,
which every owner of a copy of Epsilon should have received when he purchased
Epsilon.

If you have any other problems, we at Lugaru Software Ltd. are proud of our
customer support offered to Epsilon users:  simply call us and give your
serial number, and we'll answer all of your questions.
