Good to know. I've been using the emacs shell a little bit lately but it looks like I have to re-do some of my common utilities to get them to work with it. For instance, I have this defined (define-key global-map "\C-c\C-y" 'comint-previous-input) to re-do my most recent input but I guess it fails under the emacs shell because it's not "comint"?
