Most of the Unix shells including ksh, csh, or bash should work fine
with XEmacs. I use bash all the time on Solaris with both Emacs
and XEmacs.
http://www.sunfreeware.com
has bash pre-compiled for most versions of Solaris. Or you can get
the source at http://www.gnu.org and follow the links to one of
their many FTP mirrors if you want to build it yourself.
shell.el seems to handle things just fine. If I type M-x shell,
I'm off and running. If I want more than one, I use M-x rename-buffer
and rename the first one to something else. And then fire up another
one with M-x shell (I actually have an interactive defun that does the
above for me really).
In my .emacs file I use:
;; ------ BASH shell
(setq binary-process-input t)
(setq shell-file-name "/usr/local/bin/bash")
(setq shell-command-switch "-c")
(setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name)
(setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
(setq explicit-sh-args '("-login" "-i"))
Works great.

Subject: RE: Off topic: What xemacs shell do you recommend?
I guess I should have been clearer...
I am looking for an elisp extension to xemacs to run the shell from within
xemacs. The default shell within xemacs doesn't do all the formatting
properly (gets messed up on newlines & stuff)
I am on a Sun machine runnig Solaris (cygwin provides a shell for windows
right?).
