1464 *** The new package Eshell is an operating system command shell | |
1465 implemented entirely in Emacs Lisp. Use `M-x eshell' to invoke it. | |
1466 It functions similarly to bash and zsh, and allows running of Lisp | |
1467 functions and external commands using the same syntax. It supports | |
1468 history lists, aliases, extended globbing, smart scrolling, etc. It | |
1469 will work on any platform Emacs has been ported to. And since most of | |
1470 the basic commands -- ls, rm, mv, cp, ln, du, cat, etc. -- have been | |
1471 rewritten in Lisp, it offers an operating-system independent shell, | |
1472 all within the scope of your Emacs process. | |
