Hi,

Is there any way to get an Emacs shell (like "shell" or "cmushell") to
pass escape sequences on to the terminal instead of displaying them?

I am using a terrific window system called mgr.  In this window
system, programs do graphics by sending escape sequences to stdout.

This causes an interesting interaction with Emacs since if I run a
graphics program in a shell under Emacs, Emacs catches and displays
the escape sequences instead of passing them on and letting mgr deal
with them.

Ideally, I'd like some way to turn this functionality on and off in a
buffer for a time (like ctl-arrow) but other sort of workarounds are
welcome. 

Thanks!
