symlinks

================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
XEmacs started with:
"d:\Program Files\XEmacs\xemacs-21.5-b28\i586-pc-win32\xemacs.exe" -q
Two of the following commands in *scratch* failed.
(mswindows-shell-execute "open" "http://www.xemacs.org/")
(mswindows-shell-execute "open" "c:\\")
t
(mswindows-shell-execute "open" "c:")
(mswindows-shell-execute "explore" "c:\\")
t
mswindows-shortcuts-are-symlinks
t
If mswindows-shortcuts-are-symlinks is set to nil then all the
external processes start successfully.
Aidan Kehoe reports that a "permission denied" error masks any
prospective "file not found" error. I have seen similar errors
using "cmd /c start" either as a command from "!" in dired, or
in a Cygwin window outside of emacs. I cannot currently
reproduce it.
Is there another lisp function that might exercise the C
realpath and similar functions to improve our diagnosis?

Warning:
Defaulting to the GNU Emacs-derived `sendmail.el' mail client. This facility,
while part of base XEmacs, is heinously underfeatured, and not going to get
better in the medium term. We include it so that bug reports work without
packages; we suggest that you choose and/or install one of the other mail
clients from packages if you're doing something other than M-x
report-xemacs-bug , or even if you are reporting bugs regularly.
To choose a package from those installed, click on "Options" ->
"Internet" -> "Compose Mail With ..." and decide on one from the
list. Gnus and VM are full-featured and have active user communities.
To disable this warning and stick with the old behavior, you can explicitly
initialize `mail-user-agent' to 'sendmail-user-agent .
