`M-x shell'
Learn to use the `apropos' and `info'. `F1 a <regexp>' finds
documentation of emacs lisp functions and commands that match the
<regexp>. Try:
`F1 a process'
`F1 a shell'
`F1 a comint'
You can run `cmulisp' under XEmacs (and GNU Emacs iff `ilisp' is
installed) also. `M-x load-library ilisp' then `M-x cmulisp' OR if
that fails, try `C-u M-x ilisp', use the defaults at most of the
prompts, but for the lisp program, tell it "lisp -lazy".
Every mode has documentation available on `F1 m'.
There is a Maxima (a computer algebra system) package in incoming
right now, and I've got a simple mode for running in from XEmacs. If
you like, I'll mail a copy of it to whoever wants it.
