Instead, it notices which parts of +the text were output by the process, and which entered by the user, and +attaches `field' properties to allow emacs commands to use this information. +Common movement commands, notably beginning-of-line, respect field +boundaries in a fairly natural manner. +To disable this feature, and use the old behavior, set the variable +`comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields' to a non-nil value. + Comint now includes new features to send commands to running processes and redirect the output to a designated buffer or buffers.
