The first step is to tell us what you mean by "xemacs."  If you mean
XEmacs (aka Lucid Emacs), then people on comp.emacs.xemacs will be
much better able to help you.  If you mean Emacs with a GUI, then ...

Is there a reason you want it to echo in "real time?"  If you wait for
the output, you've still got the output, and you can browse backward
through it.

What is it exactly that you want to see happening?
