[comp.emacs] login shell =?= GNU Emacs

gaynor@topaz.rutgers.edu (Silver) (10/02/87)

I'm looking for some of the Ins and Outs of using Emacs full-time-ish
as a shell.  Should I consider making it my login shell?  Why?  Why
not?  What kind of neat things can I do interactively with Emacs as my
environment?  How well am I going to interface with the rest of my 4.3
BSD Unix (tm, I guess) system?

Reply by email, and I'll post a good summarization.

Thanks,
Silver                          Look!
