> Emacs shell mode allows editing of previous commands. These can then
> be executed by pressing return. Shell mode also allows tab completion
> to expand filenames. These do not work together. If we try to modify

> For example, the following sequence:

> touch foo bar
> echo bar
> Edit the echo command to "touch foo bar" and press return.

> produces the following output:
>
> % touch foo bar
> % echo bar foo 
> foo
> % foo 
> bash: ./foo: Permission denied
