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. PerlCoder (http://indicium.us)

But, why would anyone expect something so logical in Emacs? :-) Take the red pill Climate Change Blog Food Weblog
