  25 ;; Proced makes an Emacs buffer containing a listing of the current system
  26 ;; processes (using ps(1)).  You can use the normal Emacs commands
  27 ;; to move around in this buffer, and special Proced commands to operate
  28 ;; on the processes listed.
  29 ;;
  30 ;; To do:
  31 ;; - sort the "cooked" values used in the output format fields
  32 ;;   if ps(1) doesn't support the requested sorting scheme
  33 ;; - filter by user name or other criteria
  34 ;; - automatic update of process list
