shell-command function

[Badari Kakumani]

folks,

i have quite some customizations that use the shell-command elisp
function.

the problem is that the output is appearing in the current-window even
though
there are many windows in the current frame.

how do i tell shell-command function (in elisp) to display the
*shell command output* buffer in some other window (and leave
the current-window as it is)?

appreciate your wisdom.

thanks,
