Hi,
When I enter shell mode (M-x shell), I get a bunch of extraneous
characters printing out. Instead of the bash command prompt '/home/user>'
it comes out as:
^[[1;32m/home/user^[[1;00m>
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks,
Brad
emacs 24.4.1

YOu need add
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)
for fix above problem.
You can try to use multi-shell.el, at
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/multi-shell.el

Thanks Andy, that did the trick.
I also added some configuration to change the colors to be more high
contrast (it defaulted to a neon-green, which was hard to see). So in the
interests of helping others, here is my final .emacs shell-mode
configuration:
(setq ansi-color-names-vector ; better contrast colors
["black" "red4" "green4" "yellow4"
"blue3" "magenta4" "cyan4" "white"])
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)
Thanks to all who responded,
Brad

You don't need to colourise the prompt with ANSI. GNU Emacs has its
own customisation.
