Hi. I've been using Emacs (and loving it) for several months now. I learned the other day how to make an emacs window enter shell mode (M-x shell). I was wondering -- is it possible to make that window act a little bit more "shell-like", and less "emacs-like"? For example, in normal shell pressing 'up' causes the last command to be brought up -- but in emacs that takes me to the previous line on the screen.

Cool! Good for you. Emacs rules. I think that the command you want is M-p (Alt+p on my system).

Thanks! That helps. I also tried M-n and that cycles forward through the history list, which is also helpful.

Good. I think, and I mean think, that p=previous and n=next. But, why would anyone expect something so logical in Emacs? :-)
