Does anyone know the solutions? -shell- I'd like to be able to use up and down arrow to get history. Is there perhaps a line I can put in my .emacs to give me that option? -tshell- Formatting is terrible: ~/foo/ > ls aasdfasdf basdfasdf* casdfasdfasdf* asdfasdfasdf fgsdfgsdfg xcvzxcveafgds qweryietyur vbmnfjkfk Any thoughts on how to make it recognize the screen width? -general- Is there a way to get proper syntax coloring? Thanks! ~aizenman
