Hi Tom, It displays the output in the minibuffer, right? I'm not sure there's a very easy solution. Documented behaviour of `shell-command' is that ,---- | The output appears in the buffer `*Shell Command Output*'. If the | output is short enough to display in the echo area (which is determined | by the variables `resize-mini-windows' and `max-mini-window-height'), it | is shown there, but it is nonetheless available in buffer `*Shell | Command Output*' even though that buffer is not automatically displayed. `---- so it seems rather hard-wired to me (i.e. you'd have to write your own function or use defadvice). I think you meant [[shell:echo $PATH]], so that the output is on stdout not stderr, but I don't think that alters conclusions.
