How do I use a sub-shell on a network drive?
I frequently use a sub-shell in Emacs (m-x shell) instead of the Windows DOS
prompt. DOS doesn't let me cd to a network drive. UNC's aren't supported.
I also tried cd'ing to mapped drive letter. These methods don't work from
my ordinary DOS prompt nor an Emacs sub-shell.
MY WORKAROUND:
1. From Windows Explorer I can send a file on a network drive to Emacs
(using gnuclient).
2. Spawn a sub-shell. It prompts me from the directory location of the file
I just opened!
Why does that work? And is that the only way I can get to a network drive
from my sub-shell?
Jai
