I read your email, you spoke for example about how a typical Unix/Linux
tool shows its usage option (e.g. "anycommand --help") with a leading line
then syntaxes and tabulated lists of options followed by translated help on
the same line.
There's some rules for correct display including with Bidi:

How does Emacs know what's a prompt? How can it tell it from the
previous and next command's output?
Whatever it does to know where the prompt is, can it be made into

Hi Philippe,
Thanks a lot for your input!
Another fundamental difficulty with terminal emulators is: These
controls (CR, LF...) are control instructions that move the cursor in
some ways, and then are forgotten. You cannot do BiDi on the
instructions the terminal receives. You can only do BiDi

(I'm getting lost where to reply, and how the subject gets mangled and
the thread split into different ones.)
I've thought about it a lot, experimented with Emacs's behavior, and
I've arrived at the conclusion that we are actually much closer to
each other than I had thought. Probably
