Dear Bug Team!
 
I hope I can describe this problem sufficiently and that you know of a
fix to this problem.
 
I'm having an issue with changing directories in a shell.  I have the
following environment variable in my WinXP OS:
 
shell = C:/mksnt/sh.exe
 
Essentially, this sets my shell to a unix Korn shell that comes with MKS
Toolkit for Windows.
 
So I run a shell in Xemacs.  When I attempt to change directories, I
use the TAB key to auto-fill the name of the directory.  However, the
Xemacs shell appends a forward slash ('\') to the end of the directory
name instead of a backslash ('/'), essentially behaving as if the
shell were a DOS command line instead of a unix environment.  So what
should look like this:
 
$cd  c:/projects/code
 
ends up looking like this:
 
$cd c:\projects\code
 
And, of course, the command doesn't actually execute because its
formatted incorrectly.
 
Any ideas on how get the Xemacs shell to append a backslash instead of
a forward slash when I use the TAB key for auto completion????
 
Regards,
Robert Abad
