I wonder if it wouldn't be beneficial to make such a feature explicit. I think the right shell environment cannot be guessed at runtime. Am I right? Let's imagine two use cases: 1. I only have zsh on my machine, and I'm writing a document with bash code blocks. What if the user executing them is using zsh as his default shell? 2. I have both bash and zsh installed on my machine. I want to write some code blocks in bash, and other in zsh. How can I make the difference explicit? BTW, a "needed" feature is the executable flag for shell scripts. I found a reference to it ("PROPOSED make tangled files executable? At least if using shebang line") on http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/development.php. Thanks anyway for your marvelous tool (replacing my need for Nuweb, and giving me much more opportunities), Seb -- Sébastien Vauban _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
