> Is there anyone out there who uses Emacs as his login shell?
I did this long ago and far away, with a unipress edition of
Gosling emacs. All I had to do was add a setenv lisp function;
I think I made one or two other code changes for comfort's sake.
Worked fine for many months, on a sysV at that. I spend too much
time on too many different machines to get that comfortable now.

One limitation of emacs used as a login shell is that when you can't
(as far as I know) leave subprocesses running when you kill emacs.
What I would like to be able to do is, to start a subprocess with oputput
going to a buffer and then when I log out write this buffer out to a file
and leave the subprocess running with the output going to the file.
