Which programs are these? I am not aware of any programs that have a problem if the external editor which they launch does not terminate until the user is finished editing. I do know that not waiting causes problems for many programs which use termination of the editor they spawned to mean the file they requested to be edited is ready. > Unfortunately I have not time to check such things over and over again > and fix them so I would be glad if this was changed in Emacs sources > instead of my Emacs+EmacsW32 distribution.
