Just like an inferior process. Hi Benny, Thanks a lot for that, it looks really promising. Do you want to create a branch in a publicly accessible org-mode repo containing your additions? I've created an org mode fork for org-babel development at git://repo.or.cz/org-mode/babel.git webpage http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/babel.git which you could use (I'll send you the admin password offline so you can give yourself push rights).
