Re: 23.0.50; $TERM in shell-mode buffers

[T. V. Raman]

Indeed, it's fixed. Stefane is a champ.

While on the topic:

normal-erase-is-backspace is not being carried over correctly to
the second tty.

On the Linux console, I've always had to customize
normal-erase-is-backspace to make C-h invoke help -- this despite
having stty erase C-h in my .bash_profile.

If I run emacs  at the Linux console, and launch emacsclient at a
second virtual console, C-h there invokes backspace which is
annoying.

In general, emacs should not require users to customize
normal-erase-is-backspace at all.
