I'm OK with any name except "dumb", but as Andreas noted, "emacs" is a traditional name to inform the subprocess that it is called by Emacs. > We could then even make up a terminfo file for it that describes its > (very limited) capabilities. For grep there is no need to make up a terminfo entry because grep doesn't detect terminfo capabilities. From comments in grep source code: It would be impractical for GNU grep to become a full-fledged terminal program linked against ncurses or the like, so it will not detect terminfo(5) capabilities. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
