Subject: Shell Buffers (CCA EMACS)


When I was at school this spring I used GNU emacs.
Now I've returned to work and I'm using CCA. I'm
not fortunate enough to have a workstation, so 
shell buffers are as close to windowing as I can get
for a while anyway. GNU provides a special emacs
mode for shell buffers that includes functions to
send Ctrl-C's, Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-D's directly to the
shell.  I know that "Ctrl-Q ^C CRLF" will do roughly
the same thing but the GNU shell mode also had other
goodies like a jump to the top of the last command
output.  CCA also puts everything coming from the shell 
through its own "more". I find that very annoying. If
it's in the buffer anyway, why "more" it too?

Does anyone have a GNU style shell mode for CCA Emacs?

Along the same lines but a bit more far fetched...

has anyone ever written a mode that would allow emacs 
to interpret the escape and control sequences sent
from applications that use termcap? A sort of terminal
emulation mode for emacs. From my experience in 
writing extensions to GNU it seems this must be possible.
Has it ever been done?
