OK, I realize now that I may have come on a little strong here.  I'm
sorry if anyone feels that my response was uncalled for.  However, I
didn't want to see this thread spin off into yet another Vim-vs.-Emacs

P.S.
For all those that can't possibly see life without shell-buffers,
there's always http://www.wana.at/vimshell/index.php.  I forgot to
mention it earlier.
