The XEmacs editor has a "shell mode" for editing buffers which makes the editing buffer do terminal emulation. Its rather like your editing a terminal log except that when you press "Enter" on the command line, it sends the command to the shell, etc. Very much better than standard terminal emulators (except that the standard version, the most functional one, doesn't do interactive commands well). I think it uses the "$SHELL" shell, by default. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
