 I've been trying to get the terminal emulator working.  Stty says
'new' is an invalid option when term starts up.  What is the 'new'
option to 'stty' supposed to do?  It doesn't work with Linux.  I found
the string in terminal.el, and have tried setting the variable in
.emacs like:

(setq te-stty-string "stty -nl dec echo")

... it starts now...  C-l centers the buffer, rather than acting the
way it does in an XTerm.  Sometimes when I type 'ls', it fills the
buffer below the cursor, and nothing I do seems to put it down at the
bottom again.  Terminal mode really doesn't work very well.

 Shell mode is much better anyhow...  I guess I'll use it.

 I've noticed that when I use Telnet, {M-x telnet} that all of the
text turns blue, like commands I type in shell mode.  I could not
figure out how to send a telnet escape either, to get into command
mode.

 When I typed $ telnet in a shell buffer, the command was blue, but
everthing else was black, the way I'd expect it to be.
