:) ... sounds to me like this is something which Emacs shell and script
:) should filter out....
the argument that emacs displays ^Ms and other terminals don't isn't bogus, in
fact it's the whole point. when you run things in an emacs shell you set the
terminal settings properly; you tell the terminal driver not to send ^Ms. it's
just wrong for another program to try to duplicate the functionality of the
terminal driver. all that does is make all the features unix terminal drivers
have (like being flexible via a stty commmand) useless.
unless you're prepared to reimplement _all_ the display options of the
terminal driver and all the flexibility of the terminal driver, and all the
accompanying programs like stty, i plead for you to leave the job of
controlling the terminal to a program that actually knows what it's doing.
