- olstad answers> I must be misunderstanding you. Are you saying that the file's
- buffer is killed when you do ``M-x shell-command RET some_command RET''? Try
- visiting a file and then executing a shell command. Then do C-x C-b
- to see if the file still has a buffer.
-
-
- What I mean is this:
-
- Initial state: file foo is visible
- Execute shell command: only shell is visible
- Curse, and execute find-file-in-other-window: both shell and file are visible
-
- The last state is the one I want. For some reason, executing a shell command
- does the equivalent of a delete-window. The buffer for file foo still
- exists, but I have to make it visible again.
