- I have an interactive program that I'd like to use under emacs. The
- program takes input; it it prompts for input with a > on a line by
- itself. The program outputs sentences and paragraphs of text. It's
- currently doing its own line wrapping but I'd prefer that emacs do the
- formatting of these sentences and paragraphs. So I think what I want
- is sort of a shell mode that takes all lines that aren't a single >
- and reformats them. Does anybody know if there's such an emacs mode?
-
- Footnote: the people in the rec.games.int-fiction will recognize this
- program as the Unix Infocom interpreter which allows you to play
- Infocom games on Unix. I've modified it so that you can give it a -R
- flag that puts it in "raw" mode so that it doesn't use curses or
- termcap or print the status line and does vanilla terminal i/o.
