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

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