80 beginning of the line), and C-p and C-n to move through the input
81 history, C-u kills the current input text, etc. It also, if
82 `eshell-confine-point-to-input' is non-nil, does not allow certain
83 commands to cause the point to leave the input area, such as
84 `backward-word', `previous-line', etc. This module intends to mimic

118 the user passes arguments which are too complex, or are unrecognized
119 by the Lisp variant, the external version will be called (if
120 available). The only reason not to use them would be because they are
121 usually much slower. But in several cases their tight integration
122 with Eshell makes them more versatile than their traditional cousins
123 \(such as being able to use `kill' to kill Eshell background processes
124 by name)."
