;; V4.0 January 1997
;;
;; - Huge reworking of the faces code: now we only have roughly 20-30

;; - Finished removing all the J-Shell code.
;;
;; V3.0 January 1997
;;
;; - Now all the supportable ANSI commands work well.
;; - Reworked a little the code: much less jsh-inspired stuff
;;
;; V2.3 November
;;
;; - Now all the faces are accessed through an array: much cleaner code.
;;
;; V2.2 November 4 1996
;;
;; - Implemented ANSI output colorization ( a bit rough but enough for

;; - Implemented a maximum limit for the scroll buffer (stolen from

;; v2.1 October 28 1996, first public release

;; Notice: for directory/host/user tracking you need to have something
;; like this in your shell startup script (this is for a POSIXish shell
;; like Bash but should be quite easy to port to other shells).
;; There are actually two methods for directory tracking, one
;; implemented in `term-command-hook' which sets the directory
;; according to an escape sequence of the form "\032<directory>\n".
;; Some shells like bash will already send this escape sequence when
;; they detect they are running in Emacs. This can be configured or
;; disabled on the Emacs side by setting `term-command-hook' to
;; a different function.
;;
;; For troubleshooting in Bash, you can check the definition of the
;; custom functions with the "type" command. e.g. "type cd". If you
;; do not see the expected definition from the config below, then the
;; directory tracking will not work.
;; The second method is in `term-handle-ansi-terminal-messages' which
;; sets user, host, and directory according to escape sequences of the
;; form "\033AnSiTc <directory>\n" (replace the "c" with "u" and "h"
;; for user and host, respectively). If the user and host don't
;; match, it will set directory to a remote one, so it is important to
;; set user and host correctly first. See the example bash
;; configuration below.
