Subject: Shell Buffers (CCA EMACS)
When I was at school this spring I used GNU emacs.
Now I've returned to work and I'm using CCA. I'm
not fortunate enough to have a workstation, so
shell buffers are as close to windowing as I can get
for a while anyway. GNU provides a special emacs
mode for shell buffers that includes functions to
send Ctrl-C's, Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-D's directly to the
shell. I know that "Ctrl-Q ^C CRLF" will do roughly
the same thing but the GNU shell mode also had other
goodies like a jump to the top of the last command
output. CCA also puts everything coming from the shell
through its own "more". I find that very annoying. If
it's in the buffer anyway, why "more" it too?
Does anyone have a GNU style shell mode for CCA Emacs?
Along the same lines but a bit more far fetched...
has anyone ever written a mode that would allow emacs
to interpret the escape and control sequences sent
from applications that use termcap? A sort of terminal
emulation mode for emacs. From my experience in
writing extensions to GNU it seems this must be possible.
Has it ever been done?

If >it's in the buffer anyway, why "more" it too? I believe that Uniworks has changed the way shell buffers work about a year and half ago. It is either a buffer now or the 'more' processing is controlled by an Emacs Variable. This should be in version 162 or 163 or higher. I remember when we realized how stupid the more processing was and chucked it. Removing this "feature" actually speeded up the shell window by quite a bit. (Admittedly, the more processing is great for novice users.) I'm sure Uniworks would be glad to sell you an update.
