On Windows, the lines inserted by `i' will look like the output from
"ls -la" (see my other message in this thread for the reasons).
That's a bit ugly (and is a bug), but still functional.

As I said earlier, `i' works for me in the DOS port.
Can you show where in the code invoked by `i' does Emacs concatenate
default-directory with "/home/teirllm/compdir/"? It obviously does
something that doesn't fail on non-Posix platforms, but what?
