Hi Dan,

Thank you for your message (Fri, 24 Jun 2005 08:06:26 -0500),
in which, among other things, you wrote[1]:

Thank you for the suggestion. As Josef explain in post:

 
http://groups.google.de/group/gnu.emacs.sources/browse_thread/thread/74f5eef321a64b60/a0bf8a70d3b85ab5?q=dired-do-shell-command-in-background&rnum=1&hl=de#a0bf8a70d3b85ab5

this solves the problem just partially. Here I also thank
Emilio for a similar suggestion.

Best regards,
luis
