But if I start any kind of interactive program from eshell (for the sake of example, lets say "nslookup") then I lose the ability to use M-p/M-n to browse command line history, and Ctrl-A will not take me to the beginning of the nslookup prompt, but rather to the left edge of the buffer. How can I get eshell-mode to behave more like shell-mode when I start interactive command line programs? Thanks, -ck
