This doesn't happen with other shells in other Emacsen on other > platforms. How do I cause that not to happen? What's your terminal window size? I'm running the shell inside a local emacs which I got from http://troubleshooter.is-a-geek.com/emacs_22.1-1_armel.deb (To get it to run I also had to install libxaw7-dev as it had a broken dependency.) With the standard window manager (I believe that it is called matchbox but I'm not sure) I don't know of any way to specify or change the window sizes or positions. All windows appear to come up with the same size and position. Even if I specify the -geometry option to emacs, it appears to be ignored. In any case, I'm running Emacs in window mode. With the default Emacs window size and font, the shell buffer is 113 columns wide. I've noticed that at least when editing longer than one line commands in Busybox shell, it behaves strangely if window width is something else than 80. I tried using stty in the shell buffer inside Emacs to change the cols parameter to 80 and also enable and disable various newline carriage return options but none seemed to have any effect. I also tried running Emacs in -nw mode (i.e. in an osso xterm console rather than a separate window). But it wouldn't start, complaining that terminal type xterm was not defined. So I tried setting TERM to vt100 and it complaied that terminal type vt100 was not defined. Jeff (http://www.ece.purdue.edu/~qobi)
