shell-mode - make it stop!!!

[Tom Horsley]

The NEWS file says this about shell-mode

 ** Changes in Shell Mode

 *** Shell output normally scrolls so that the input line is at the
 bottom of the window -- thus showing the maximum possible text.  (This
 is similar to the way sequential output to a terminal works.)

Unfortunately it doesn't say how the devil to make this insanely
annoying behavior stop :-). Any way to disable it? (One of the reasons
I liked emacs shell mode was because it didn't act this way - if
I wanted an ordinary terminal, I'd use one of them :-).
