Eureka! |

|
| 31 |
A search for "ansi" at gmane suggested using ansi-term instead |
| 32 |
of shell. That gave me color but previous line editing and such were |
| 33 |
different, which I'm not sure I like :-< |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
So I looked in /usr/share/emacs/... for ansi-term and found |
| 36 |
ansi-color.el. Comments at the beginning tell how to turn on color |
| 37 |
within a shell. This looks like what I want! |
