30 "This module causes visual commands (e.g., 'vi') to be executed by
31 the `term' package, which comes with Emacs. This package handles most
32 of the ANSI control codes, allowing curses-based applications to run
33 within an Emacs window. The variable `eshell-visual-commands' defines
34 which commands are considered visual in nature."

38 ;;; Commentary:
40 ;; At the moment, eshell is stream-based in its interactive input and
41 ;; output. This means that full-screen commands, such as "vi" or
42 ;; "lynx", will not display correctly. These are therefore thought of
43 ;; as "visual" programs. In order to run these progrem under Emacs,
44 ;; Eshell uses the term.el package, and invokes them in a separate
45 ;; buffer, giving the illusion that Eshell itself is allowing these
46 ;; visual processes to execute.
