I'm curious: can you be a bit more specific? Can you give examples of
things which are done better by `term' then by `shell'?
I've been using `shell' for quite some time and am quite happy with
it. I just tried `term' for the first time in Emacs 21 and it seemed
broken as a simple ls in bash spat out badly aligned text columns.
IIRC, it used to work in Emacs 20. Do you use the latter version?
[Mental note: write bug report.]
