Once I saw the M-x term, I searched my notes for "x term", and discovered this from that years-ago forgoten post: | M-x term provides a more sophisticated shell terminal that does support | advanced I/O. However, it can be a bit slower than M-x shell and has | some slightly different key bindings, such as character mode an dline | mode. This is the shell to use if you wanted to run something like lynx | or mutt etc. Thanks again! David
