;;; This hopefully generalises shell mode, lisp mode, tea mode, soar mode,...
;;; This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
;;; (comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
;;; modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
;;; This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality, 
;;; and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and

;;; Converting process modes to use comint mode
;;; ===========================================================================
;;; Several gnu packages (tex-mode, background, dbx, gdb, kermit, prolog, 
;;; telnet are some) use the shell package as clients. Most of them would
;;; be better off using the comint package, but they predate it. 
;;;
;;; Altering these packages to use comint mode should greatly
;;; improve their functionality, and is fairly easy.
;;; 
;;; Renaming variables
;;; Most of the work is renaming variables and functions. These are the common
;;; ones:
;;; Local variables:
;;;	last-input-start	comint-last-input-start

;;; Converting process modes to use comint mode
;;; ===========================================================================
;;; The code in the Emacs 19 distribution has all been modified to use comint
;;; where needed.  However, there are `third-party' packages out there that
;;; still use the old shell mode.  Here's a guide to conversion.
