M-x term RET comes with Emacs, but it certainly does not use a *shell* window. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

THAT TERM.EL IS SO INCREDIBLY COOL! (I learned that term.el is an upgrade of ansi-term.el, which .el is the one I had previously tried, forgot its name, and posted here! term.el seems much better?) >comes with Emacs, but it certainly does not use a *shell* window. OK -- but it *does* immediately want to run a shell, default (here only?) being /bin/csh. So it's *like* a *shell*, no? Anyway, yes, I *can* indeed run vi within it. Pretty damn neat! ------ You know, it sure would be nice if people could make a (separate) wiki (or something) of the not-totally-obvious .el-files, with just a short blurb for each (not full doc!), saying what it *does* and (most importantly) *why you'd want to use it*. Like, some things it enables you to do, eg for term.el that it gives you an emacs-buffer *within which you can (amazingly!) run things like vi*. Even (for those where possible) a succinct one-liner. Would likely result in a VAST increase in benefits from emacs-usage! David ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
