+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Shell directory tracking by watching the prompt.
+;;
+;; This is yet another attempt at a directory-tracking package for
+;; Emacs shell-mode. However, this package makes one strong assumption:
+;; that you can customize your shell's prompt to contain the
+;; current working directory. Most shells do support this, including
+;; almost every type of Bourne and C shell on Unix, the native shells on
+;; Windows95 (COMMAND.COM) and Windows NT (CMD.EXE), and most 3rd party
+;; Windows shells. If you cannot do this, or do not wish to, this package
+;; will be useless to you.
+;;
+;; Installation:
+;;
+;; 1) Set your shell's prompt to contain the current working directory.
+;; You may need to consult your shell's documentation to find out how to
+;; do this.
+;; 
+;; Note that directory tracking is done by matching regular expressions, 
+;; therefore it is *VERY IMPORTANT* for your prompt to be easily
+;; distinguishable from other output. If your prompt regexp is too general,
+;; you will see error messages from the dirtrack filter as it attempts to cd
+;; to non-existent directories.
+;;
+;; 2) Set the variable 'dirtrack-list' to an appropriate value. This
+;; should be a list of two elements: the first is a regular expression
+;; which matches your prompt up to and including the pathname part.
+;; The second is a number which tells which regular expression group to 
+;; match to extract only the pathname. If you use a multi-line prompt,
+;; add 't' as a third element. Note that some of the functions in
+;; 'comint.el' assume a single-line prompt (eg, comint-bol).
+;; 
+;; Determining this information may take some experimentation. Setting
+;; the variable 'dirtrack-debug' may help; it causes the directory-tracking
+;; filter to log messages to the buffer 'dirtrack-debug-buffer'.
+;;
+;; 3) Autoload directory tracking by adding the following to your .emacs:
+;; 
+;; (autoload 'dirtrack "dirtrack"
+;;  "Directory tracking by watching the prompt")
+;; 
+;; 4) Add a hook to shell-mode to enable the directory tracking:
+;;
+;; (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
+;;   (function (lambda ()
+;; 	      (setq comint-output-filter-functions
+;; 		    (append (list 'dirtrack)
+;; 			    comint-output-filter-functions)))))
+;;
+;; You may wish to turn ordinary shell tracking off by calling
+;; 'shell-dirtrack-toggle' or setting 'shell-dirtrackp'.
+;;
+;; Examples:
+;;
+;; 1) On Windows NT, my prompt is set to emacs$S$P$G.
+;; 'dirtrack-list' is set to (list "^emacs \\([a-zA-Z]:.*\\)>" 1)
+;;
+;; 2) On Solaris running bash, my prompt is set like this:
+;;    PS1="\w\012emacs@\h(\!) [\t]% "
+;;    'dirtrack-list' is set to (list "^\\([/~].*\\)\nemacs@[^%]+% *" 1 t)
+;;
+;; I'd appreciate other examples from people who use this package.
