+;;; This file defines a general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer package
+;;; (comint mode). The idea is that you can build specific process-in-a-buffer
+;;; modes on top of comint mode -- e.g., lisp, shell, scheme, T, soar, ....
+;;; This way, all these specific packages share a common base functionality,
+;;; and a common set of bindings, which makes them easier to use (and
+;;; saves code, implementation time, etc., etc.).
+
+;;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
+;;; the hooks available for customising it, see the comments below.
+;;; For further information on the standard derived modes (shell,
+;;; inferior-lisp, inferior-scheme, ...), see the relevant source files.
+
+;;; For hints on converting existing process modes to use comint-mode
+;;; instead of shell-mode, see the notes at the end of this file.

+;;;============================================================================
+;;; Many command-interpreters (e.g., Lisp, Scheme, Soar) have
+;;; commands that process files of source text (e.g. loading or compiling
+;;; files). So the corresponding process-in-a-buffer modes have commands
+;;; for doing this (e.g., lisp-load-file). The functions below are useful
+;;; for defining these commands.
+;;;
+;;; Alas, these guys don't do exactly the right thing for Lisp, Scheme
+;;; and Soar, in that they don't know anything about file extensions.
+;;; So the compile/load interface gets the wrong default occasionally.
+;;; The load-file/compile-file default mechanism could be smarter -- it
+;;; doesn't know about the relationship between filename extensions and
+;;; whether the file is source or executable. If you compile foo.lisp
+;;; with compile-file, then the next load-file should use foo.bin for

+;;; This function computes the defaults for the load-file and compile-file
+;;; commands for tea, soar, lisp, and scheme modes.
+;;;
+;;; - PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is a pair (directory . filename) from the last
+;;; source-file processing command. NIL if there hasn't been one yet.
+;;; - SOURCE-MODES is a list used to determine what buffers contain source
+;;; files: if the major mode of the buffer is in SOURCE-MODES, it's source.
+;;; Typically, (lisp-mode) or (scheme-mode).
+;;;
+;;; If the command is given while the cursor is inside a string, *and*
+;;; the string is an existing filename, *and* the filename is not a directory,
+;;; then the string is taken as default. This allows you to just position
+;;; your cursor over a string that's a filename and have it taken as default.
+;;;
+;;; If the command is given in a file buffer whose major mode is in
+;;; SOURCE-MODES, then the the filename is the default file, and the
+;;; file's directory is the default directory.
+;;;
+;;; If the buffer isn't a source file buffer (e.g., it's the process buffer),
+;;; then the default directory & file are what was used in the last source-file
+;;; processing command (i.e., PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE). If this is the first time
+;;; the command has been run (PREVIOUS-DIR/FILE is nil), the default directory
+;;; is the cwd, with no default file. (\"no default file\" = nil)
+;;;
+;;; SOURCE-REGEXP is typically going to be something like (tea-mode)
+;;; for T programs, (lisp-mode) for Lisp programs, (soar-mode lisp-mode)
+;;; for Soar programs, etc.
+;;;
+;;; The function returns a pair: (default-directory . default-file).

+;;; last-input-start <unnecessary>
+;;; shell-prompt-pattern comint-prompt-regexp
+;;; shell-set-directory-error-hook <no equivalent>

+;;; kill-output-from-shell comint-kill-output
+;;; show-output-from-shell comint-show-output
+;;; copy-last-shell-input Use comint-previous-input/comint-next-input
+;;;
+;;; LAST-INPUT-START is no longer necessary because inputs are stored on the
+;;; input history ring. SHELL-SET-DIRECTORY is gone, its functionality taken
+;;; over by SHELL-DIRECTORY-TRACKER, the shell mode's comint-input-sentinel.
+;;; Comint mode does not provide functionality equivalent to
+;;; shell-set-directory-error-hook; it is gone.
+;;;
+;;; If you are implementing some process-in-a-buffer mode, called foo-mode, do
+;;; *not* create the comint-mode local variables in your foo-mode function.
+;;; This is not modular. Instead, call comint-mode, and let *it* create the
+;;; necessary comint-specific local variables. Then create the
+;;; foo-mode-specific local variables in foo-mode. Set the buffer's keymap to
+;;; be foo-mode-map, and its mode to be foo-mode. Set the comint-mode hooks
+;;; (comint-prompt-regexp, comint-input-filter, comint-input-sentinel,
+;;; comint-get-old-input) that need to be different from the defaults. Call
+;;; foo-mode-hook, and you're done. Don't run the comint-mode hook yourself;
+;;; comint-mode will take care of it.
+;;;
+;;; Note that make-comint is different from make-shell in that it
+;;; doesn't have a default program argument. If you give make-shell
+;;; a program name of NIL, it cleverly chooses one of explicit-shell-name,
+;;; $ESHELL, $SHELL, or /bin/sh. If you give make-comint a program argument
+;;; of NIL, it barfs. Adjust your code accordingly...
