+ "This module combines the facility of normal, modern shells with
+some of the edit/review concepts inherent in the design of Plan 9's
+9term. See the docs for more details.
+
+Most likely you will have to turn this option on and play around with
+it to get a real sense of how it works."

+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; The best way to get a sense of what this code is trying to do is by
+;; using it. Basically, the philosophy represents a blend between the
+;; ease of use of modern day shells, and the review-before-you-proceed
+;; mentality of Plan 9's 9term.
+;;
+;; @ When you invoke a command, it is assumed that you want to read
+;; the output of that command.
+;;
+;; @ If the output is not what you wanted, it is assumed that you will
+;; want to edit, and then resubmit a refined version of that
+;; command.
+;;
+;; @ If the output is valid, pressing any self-inserting character key
+;; will jump to end of the buffer and insert that character, in
+;; order to begin entry of a new command.
+;;
+;; @ If you show an intention to edit the previous command -- by
+;; moving around within it -- then the next self-inserting
+;; characters will insert *there*, instead of at the bottom of the
+;; buffer.
+;;
+;; @ If you show an intention to review old commands, such as M-p or
+;; M-r, point will jump to the bottom of the buffer before invoking
+;; that command.
+;;
+;; @ If none of the above has happened yet (i.e., your point is just
+;; sitting on the previous command), you can use SPACE and BACKSPACE
+;; (or DELETE) to page forward and backward *through the output of
+;; the last command only*. It will constrain the movement of the
+;; point and window so that the maximum amount of output is always
+;; displayed at all times.
+;;
+;; @ While output is being generated from a command, the window will
+;; be constantly reconfigured (until it would otherwise make no
+;; difference) in order to always show you the most output from the
+;; command possible. This happens if you change window sizes,
+;; scroll, etc.
+;;
+;; @ Like I said, it's not really comprehensible until you try it! ;)

+pressing backspace will not cause the buffer to scroll down).

+This feature is provided to make it very easy to watch the output of a

+Setting this variable to nil means that space and backspace will
