- Well, I found a solution to the problem with webster, but I don't know
- whether it is clean, safe or whatever. Anyway:
-
- I changed the following lines in webster-send-request
-
- < (setq webster-buffer
- < (if (not (fboundp 'make-shell)) ;emacs19
- < (make-comint webster-process-name "telnet")
- < (make-shell webster-process-name "telnet")))

- Seems to work.
