 @vindex comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output
   By setting @code{comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output}, you can opt for
 having point jump to the end of the buffer whenever output arrives---no
 matter where in the buffer point was before.  If the value is
 @code{this}, point jumps in the selected window.  If the value is
