I'm interested in developing my elisp programming skills, and I've come up with 2 related projects which 1) don't exist as such yet, as far as I know; 2) would be very useful to me personally; and 3) shouldn't be TOO difficult. The projects are an `rlogin' mode (very similar to shell) and a `cu' mode. I currently have an rlogin.el (using Olin Shivers' comint mode as it's base) which does the basics of what I want, EXCEPT for the echoing of the command line, which turns out as follows: $ date # I type date and hit return date # the remote system (running ksh) echoes the command line Thu Sep 14 10:13:06 EST 1989 $ Am I missing something obvious? cmushell.el binds return to comint-send-input just as I do in rlogin.el, but I don't get the command line echoed when running ksh in a buffer locally. Any help/suggestions would be greatfully accepted. Eventually, I hope to use remote.el by Eric Raible to allow editing on the machine I rlogin to transparently (ie, if I C-xC-f in an rlogin buffer, I'll find a file on the remote machine). My plans for cu.el involve a send-expect capability similar to that used by uucp and kermit, but hopefully with multiple `expect's and the ability to branch depending on which `expect' I get.
