Re: executable-find in files.el

[Richard Stallman]

    Running a command remotely is something like

            ssh <remotehost> <command>

    whereas running a remote command locally is something like

            scp <remotecommand> /tmp/foo; /tmp/foo

If instead of "command" you say "executable", the distinction will be
clearer.  I'd say the second example does not make sense with
commands, only with executables.
