I wondered if there is a way to show the evaluation buffer (if any) during evaluation of commands -- in particular when the command takes a long time (e.g. when trying to document a building process involving `make' invocations) waiting for the command to finish is counter productive. Even worse if the command used turns out to cause an infinite loop. If not possible yet: At least in the case of session based evaluation, this would "simply" mean a construct of the form : (save-excursion : <> : (display-buffer <>) : <>) The idea came up because I'm currently trying to document the building process of mathematical libraries (matplotlib, numpy, scipy) under Cygwin -- building those is pretty tricky there. And waiting for a `make' invocation to finish before seeing any result... well ^^' On a side note, as mentioned in the "[O] [bug] cannot execute shell code blocks" thread, for shell commands sadly this "simple" solution won't work, as session based evaluation never returns from the session. "simple" because: I couldn't figure out where this would have to be done ^^' king regards, Yu
