This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation, not to your local site managers! Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group. In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2004-03-10 on NYAUMO configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.2)' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: ENU locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: When I use tcsh (which echoes command input) in a shell buffer, entering "M-x dirs" fails because it mistakens the echoed "dirs" string as the directory string to use as input when changing the buffers default directory. The attached gziped patch file contains a fix. The patch also binds the "dirs" command to "\e\C-m" in shell-mode-map (previously unbound) to make it easy to invoke. Finally, a test has been added to see if "shell-dirstack-query" is non-nil. If so, it is not overwritten. To enable the fix, the user must set comint-process-echoes to t.
