Re: shell command problem with emacspeak 17 and Mandrake 9.0

["Thomas Ward" <slingshooter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I haven't experienced this problem with Mandrake, but I know from
experience with Mandrakes version of emacs you should use escape-x rather
than alt-x and then type shell.
Which were you doing? alt-x or escape-x?
