Specialized comint.el for running the shell
This file defines a shell-in-a-buffer package (shell mode) built on
top of comint mode.
Since this mode is built on top of the general command-interpreter-in-
a-buffer mode (comint mode), it shares a common base functionality,
and a common set of bindings, with all modes derived from comint mode.
This makes these modes easier to use.
For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
the hooks available for customizing it, see the file comint.el.
For further information on shell mode, see the comments below.
Needs fixin:
When sending text from a source file to a subprocess, the process-mark can
move off the window, so you can lose sight of the process interactions.
Maybe I should ensure the process mark is in the window when I send
text to the process? Switch selectable?
