599 By default, comint no longer uses the variable `comint-prompt-regexp' to
600 distiguish prompts from user-input. Instead, it notices which parts of
601 the text were output by the process, and which entered by the user, and
602 attaches `field' properties to allow emacs commands to use this information.

604 boundaries in a fairly natural manner.

606 `comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields' to a non-nil value.
