It would also be nice to keep the shell prompt in sync when you run an Emacs command: (progn (comint-simple-send process (concat "# " command "\n")) (apply command-symbol (cdr command-list))) But it looks like that might not get into the input history (see comint-input-history-ignore). > What I meant was something less automatic: Have an alist which says > which Lisp to invoke depending on the first word. > > But maybe it's also good to use the eshell way of doing things: just > look for a kshell/foo function if the user entered foo. > > When using eshell, I noticed that many Lisp functions are not suitable > to be called from the shell prompt.

I think you could use the kshell/foo approach to provide required arguments that can be inferred from the context (current directory, etc.). -- Kevin Rodgers
