I wrote an entire e-mail before reading the text that accompanies the 
tramp-sh-program setting.  Assuming that tramp-sh-program is only 
executed locally (as it says), I have rewritten the e-mail.

That would be great.  As command.com is not Bourne-sh, I'll cross my 
fingers before trying.

No.  I think a great solution would be if command.com works as 
tramp-sh-program.  Then everything else is seamless.

As an aside, not that I use it anywhere, but does tramp work when the 
remote host is Windows?

Except that currently, my trick does not work. ;-)

And if changing tramp-sh-program to command.com is the solution, then 
that should be what's documented.  By that I mean, if I had 
tramp-sh-program set to command.com before this started, it would have 
just worked.  In other words, tramp's ability to do hops with multi 
methods is the cool idea.  I just found a place where it doesn't work.  Yet.

I'll try setting tramp-sh-program to command.com when I get home.
Is there anything I should particularly look at in trying to test to 
make sure something else isn't inadvertantly broken.
