Eshell does have its limitations though, one of which I'm always forgetting is that it doesn't support input redirection. So you can't do things like 'patch -p0 < patch.diff'. Of course you can nearly always get around that (in my example: 'cat patch.diff | patch -p0'. Eshell has the added bonus of being able to run lisp forms directly from the Eshell prompt: ,----[ M-x insert-buffer RET *eshell* RET ] | Welcome to the Emacs shell | | /home/steve $ (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d") | 2003-03-25 | /home/steve $ `---- Eshell is pretty nifty actually. -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
