Can you please post a transcript demonstrating the problem that you're
seeing while trying to run 'socket' in Emacs shell mode, starting from
the beginning of the REPL session?

In general, it's much more useful to show us the precise commands you
typed, and the precise error message, than to write "I tried to run
socket in it and it could not find that".  I'd like to understand what's
going on here.  I use the Guile REPL from within Emacs all the time, and
it's far more convenient to use from within Emacs than within a bare
terminal.  It would be good to get to the bottom of this.

     Regards,
       Mark
