-== Shells and terminal emulation ==
-Within Emacs you can interact with various shells and other command-line/text-mode programs running as a sub-process within an Emacs terminal emulator:
-* [[ ansi-term ]]
-* [[ shell ]]
-* [[ term ]]
-* [[ multi-term ]]
-[[ eshell ]] is a shell (not a terminal emulator, nor a process hosted in one) written in pure [[ Emacs Lisp ]]. It is very powerful, flexible and customizable, but poorly documented at time of writing.
-Emacs itself is fully functional either in a terminal or a windowing system. Some keystrokes available under window systems may not work in a terminal and vice versa.
