Re: page-at-a-time output for M-x shell

[Thierry Volpiatto <thierry.volpiatto@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
If you use eshell you can call easily term for the commands that need it:

,----
| (when (require 'em-term)
|   (dolist (i '("kop" "ledger" "mc" "htop"))
|     (add-to-list 'eshell-visual-commands i)))
`----

This code add the commands kop, ledger, mc, htop to
`eshell-visual-commands'.
That mean when you run one of these commands in eshell, they are
executed in term.
At the end the term buffer is killed and you are back in eshell.
