You are totally right. Thanks a lot.

How ever, another question plz.

There are 3 shells now for emacs
shell (activated by esc-x shell)
term
eshell

what are their difference? Which one you recommand?

Apparently, shell has some worry with man, esp. i don't like shell 
because under shell, if you tape, "echo $Term" it gives
TERM = dumb,

if I understand well, dumb means stupid in English, so shell is actually 
laught at the user...
