Shell mode is a derivative of Comint mode, a general-purpose mode for
communicating with interactive subprocesses. Most of the features of
Shell mode actually come from Comint mode, as you can see from the
command names listed above. The special features of Shell mode in
particular include the choice of regular expression for detecting
prompts, the directory tracking feature, and a few user commands.

History references take effect only following a shell prompt. The
prompt is defined to be any text not input by the user, unless the
variable @code{comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields} is
non-@code{nil} (the default value is @code{nil}). When
@code{comint-use-prompt-regexp-instead-of-fields} is non-@code{nil}, the
variable @code{shell-prompt-pattern} specifies how to recognize a shell
prompt. Comint modes in general use the variable
@code{comint-prompt-regexp} to specify how to find a prompt; Shell mode
uses @code{shell-prompt-pattern} to set up the local value of
