I run a number of command-line interpreters under emacs (under Windows) and this is my preferred interface but recently I have had trouble with a new one (q) where the prompt provides information about being in debug mode or not. Unfortunately, emacs under comint (and eshell) does not display the prompt. When I had this problem with another interpreter, it was quickly fixed in a subsequent release leading me to believe there is something that can be done easily on the interpreter side of things to fix this issue. However, I have no clue what this is.
Does anyone know what I can tell the interpreter writers they should look into? Is there something on the comint side I can do to get it to stop swallowing the prompt? Thanks, Devon -- Devon McCormick, CFA Quantitative Consultant
