26.7 Running Shell Commands from XEmacs
=======================================

XEmacs has commands for passing single command lines to inferior shell
processes; it can also run a shell interactively with input and output
to an XEmacs buffer `*shell*'.

`M-!'
     Run a specified shell command line and display the output
     (`shell-command').

`M-|'
     Run a specified shell command line with region contents as input;
     optionally replace the region with the output
     (`shell-command-on-region').

`M-x shell'
     Run a subshell with input and output through an XEmacs buffer.
     You can then give commands interactively.

`M-x term'
     Run a subshell with input and output through an XEmacs buffer.
     You can then give commands interactively.  Full terminal emulation
     is available.
