OK, your right. It works when there are no blanks in the absolut filename.
Now, I use a file in c:\AllgAFormelsammlung. After C-c C-v I get this in the
shell-buffer:
c:\AllgAFormelsammlung>yap c:/AllgAFormelsammlung/AllgA.dvi&
yap c:/AllgAFormelsammlung/AllgA.dvi&

But yap doesn't start direktly. First I have to close emcas - then yap
starts!

How can I solve this Problem? Is there something loke the "&" for Windows?

Thanks
