Well, I think you did not quite understand what I meant in my last
post. Or the problem itself.
When you do an ls -l in the real console, you get 25 lines of output
and it scrolls off t he screen only if the output is more than 25
lines right?
In eshell, the output scrolls off the screen even if it is 15 lines or
more. THIS is the problem.
term and shell are better and ls -l works normally as it would on
console. What's the difference between the three and which is better
featurewise?
