No, there's no terminal emulation in shell buffers. Why do you need to use more or less when you're in a shell buffer? You already have the ability to scroll back and forth through the output, you don't need to run another program to do that. When I'm in an Emacs shell, I set $PAGER to "cat", so that all the applications that would normally pipe their output through less will just dump it straight out. -- Barry Margolin, barmar@genuity.net Genuity, Woburn, MA *** DON'T SEND TECHNICAL QUESTIONS DIRECTLY TO ME, post them to newsgroups.
