Shell mode question

Fri May 11 04:18:00 GMT 2001

I have a problem with using cygwin tcsh in shell mode with the NT version of
XEmacs 21.1.3. I searched the FAQ and mailing archives, but can't seem to
find an answer. I also tried putting *only* the lines below in my .emacs
file and removing my .tcshrc file to get rid of any interference.
The problem is the shell loads and runs fine - almost. If I just press
enter, the prompt line gets written to the right, that is, there is no CRLF
to the next line. if I do a command like 'ps', the first line gets written
on the current line, not the next line.
This happens on NTEmacs as well, which makes me think I need to set some
lisp variable or there's maybe an incompatibility between cygwin tcsh and
emacs.
My .emacs file has the lines:
(if (eq my-unix-tools 'cygwin)
 (progn
 ;; General shell settings
 (setq explicit-shell-file-name (concat my-unix-bin "/tcsh.exe"))
 ;; Subprocesses invoked via the shell
 (setq shell-file-name (concat my-unix-bin "/tcsh.exe"))
 (setq w32-quote-process-args t) ; Emacs 20
 (setq shell-command-switch "-cf")
 ;; The rest comes straight out of the Cygwin FAQ.
 (setenv "PID" nil)
 (load "comint")
 (fset 'original-comint-exec-1 (symbol-function 'comint-exec-1))
 (defun comint-exec-1 (name buffer command switches)
	(let ((binary-process-input t)
	(binary-process-output nil))
	(original-comint-exec-1 name buffer command switches)))
 (defun my-comint-init ()
 (setq comint-process-echoes t))
 (add-hook 'comint-mode-hook 'my-comint-init)
 )
 )
I also tried:
 (setenv "SHELL" "tcsh.exe")
 (setq w32-quote-process-args t) ; Emacs 20
 (setq shell-command-switch "-cf")
but got the same result.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Larry
