meta-x man RET  asks for the page I want to view.  I tried 'cat' and got:
Symbol's function definition is void: start-process

The Message buffer also mentions: Invoking man cat in the background

I'm used to Unix land and only started messing with djgpp's emacs this past
couple of weeks.  I imagine DOS can't handle the multi-tasking.  The same
happens with ispell and shell.  Any idea if running emacs off of djgpp's Bash
will fix that?

There's couple of options mentioned in the FAQ and see I'll what works best.

Thanks for the reply,
