I've noticed that when running M-x shell under GNU Emacs, each command line gets repeated, e.g., % echo Hello echo Hello Hello % From the prompt, you can probably quess that the environment variable SHELL has been set to /bin/csh. Now watch what happens when I change SHELL to be /bin/ksh. $ echo Hi Hi $ Voila! The echoing of the command line disappears. Plausible conclusion: This has something to do with csh. Additional clue: When firing up a new shell (with SHELL set to be /bin/ksh), I first get the message Switching to new tty driver... at the top of the *shell* buffer. Maybe this is of importance? Questions: (1.) Has anybody else noticed this? (2.) Has anybody come up with a way of getting rid of this annoying behavior when /bin/csh is used? Thanks.
