Hi, I think that in the docstring of method dired-do-shell-command (assigned
to key !), it would be useful to add a paragraph like:
---
Emacs will block until the program ends. To execute the command in the
background, add `&' to the end of you string, as in `program * &'.
---
For it's not completely obvious, and it's useful if you're opening graphical
programs like xpdf, ooffice, a web browser, ...
Thanks,
Daniel
