On a tangent, I like fshell.el which has functionality not provided by M-x shell RET plus clone-buffer: C-u 42 M-x fshell RET goes to the *shell*<42> buffer, creating it if it doesn't exist, yet. For some reason or other, I like this much better than using some switch-to-buffer interface for selecting the right buffer. Kai
