Hmm. Very cool. Which opens up a problem with eshell. You cannot
type more complex shell things at it (like a function definition).
Maybe I'll do this instead (I used to have such problems with
gnuclient when I was at Sun that it stopped occurring to me as tool
with which to solve this class of problem).
Thanks!
