   * (RMH) system freeze and ctrl-m, a solution for some cases.

     Frequently, when the *shell* buffer freezes while running	either
     COMMAND.COM or a DOS or Windows program initiated by	command.com,
     it can be unfrozen by entering the key sequence	C-q C-m RET into
     the frozen buffer.

     What I think is happening is the coding-system got confused.
     Command.com is waiting for the C-m C-l sequence and it only	sees
     the C-l, which it knows is not the end of the line.  When	we
     manually give the C-m, followed by RET, it is happy and	completes
     parsing the line.

     For example, from a *shell* buffer running bash (with ps in	the
     path):

     command.com	ps	C-q C-m RET	exit	C-q C-m RET

     command.com /c date	RET	C-q C-m RET

     command.com /c date	C-q C-m RET

   * (RMH) Changes in ess-r-d.el for Windows

     One of the design goals in ESS was to make it almost	unnecessary
     for users to make modifications to the ess-*.el	files.  We have
     split the R function into two clones. 	R-unix is the old R
     function.  It uses the starting argument	"-no-readline ".
     R-microsoft is designed for Windows.  It	uses the starting argument
     "-ess ".  We detect the	operating system and fset the name R to
     whichever is	appropriate.  No user changes are required.  M-x R
     always works.

   * (RMH)	msdos.el

     Start an msdos shell inside an NTemacs that normally uses	bash as
     its shell.  It should have been easy, but had many	parameters that
     needed to be set.  I am sending a copy of	this to the Ntemacs
     mailing list.  I think this function	should be merged into the
     Ntemacs distribution, but for the	moment I am attributing it to us.
