[comp.emacs] Screen Shell/Emacs Concurrently...

jstewart@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Ace Stewart) (09/19/90)

I'm not sure of GNU-Emacs is designed to allow this to happen, but
is it possible for a user to set it up so that emacs takes (for
instance) 3/4 of the screen, and a command Unix line takes up the
last 1/4 of the screen with a toggle between them? i.e. have emacs
on the screen, but a Unix area as well. Possible, and if so or
if not, would someone tell me how/why?

		My thanx...Ace

Try C-X 2 to split the screen on whatever you are editing, followed by
M-X shell to start a shell subprocess in one of the windows.  Adjust the
size of the 2 windows with C-U <number> C-X ^ (the last character is
"up-arrow").  Toggle between the "editing" window and the shell window
C-X o.  Works fine for me on my Sun 3 workstation under Sunview with
gnuemacs 18.53 and csh as my default shell.  See the gnuemacs manual or
info files on extra stuff you have in shell-mode.
