I've seen that used, but I find it annoying: ======================================================================== $ man ls WARNING: terminal is not fully functional - (press RETURN) ======================================================================== ======================================================================== $ git diff WARNING: terminal is not fully functional - (press RETURN) ======================================================================== when run in emacs' Shell Mode. Even Ctrl-C doesn't get me out of it. I curse to myself and run again: ======================================================================== $ git diff | cat ... ======================================================================== Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
