I didn't want to special-case the first hop in the multi-hop methods, so tramp-open-connection-multi uses start-process to start a shell. It uses the variable tramp-sh-program, so you can in principle configure this. But note that Tramp assumes a Bourne-ish shell! Hm. But this variable is only used in three places. One place is tramp-open-connection-multi, the other two places are for reading and writing files. In those two places, it's only used when the method specifies an encoding/decoding command (instead of function). So _maybe_ it works to change tramp-sh-program to COMMAND.COM or whatever it is that you have got. Do you think that tramp-open-connection-multi should use a different variable, and that there should be documentation somewhere how your trick works? It's a cool idea, that trick of yours. kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards.
