Hi all,
I'm having an annoying problem with the shell mode in GNU emacs 22.1.1
which I haven't had in earlier versions (including emacs 21): if I
have more than a screenful in my shell buffer, then whenever I execute
a command, my window re-aligns so that the bottom of the buffer is at
the
bottom of the window.
In other words: I go to the command line at the end of the buffer, hit
ctrl-L (so that my command line is in the middle of my screen, where I
like it). Then when I hit return or execute a command, my command line
is suddenly at the bottom of my screen (where I don't like it).
Does that make sense? Like I said, it is really annoying. So if anyone
can point me to a setting to fix this, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks, Peter

Set the (buffer-local) variable comint-scroll-show-maximum-output to nil.

Remove the function comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom from the list
in the variable comint-output-filter-functions:
(setq comint-output-filter-functions '(comint-watch-for-password-prompt))

There's no correct way to write Perl. A Perl script is correct if it's
halfway readable and gets the job done before your boss fires you.

Not sure what happened with my last reply, but Kevin's fix worked
best, i.e.:
(remove-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
'comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom)
(Glenn's fix [Set the (buffer-local) variable comint-scroll-show-
maximum-output to nil] worked but had to be applied to every shell
buffer).
Thanks to all who replied.

That's what shell-mode-hook is for.
Applying that selectivity to Ivan's solution (which I modified):
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(remove-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
'comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom
t))) ; LOCAL
