I'm interested in developing my elisp programming skills, and I've
come up with 2 related projects which 1) don't exist as such yet, as
far as I know; 2) would be very useful to me personally; and 3)
shouldn't be TOO difficult.  The projects are an `rlogin' mode (very
similar to shell) and a `cu' mode.  I currently have an rlogin.el
(using Olin Shivers' comint mode as it's base) which does the basics
of what I want, EXCEPT for the echoing of the command line, which
turns out as follows:

$ date		# I type date and hit return
date		# the remote system (running ksh) echoes the command line

$ 

Am I missing something obvious?  cmushell.el binds return to
comint-send-input just as I do in rlogin.el, but I don't get the
command line echoed when running ksh in a buffer locally.  Any
help/suggestions would be greatfully accepted.

Eventually, I hope to use remote.el by Eric Raible to allow editing
on the machine I rlogin to transparently (ie, if I C-xC-f in an rlogin
buffer, I'll find a file on the remote machine).  My plans for cu.el
involve a send-expect capability similar to that used by uucp and
kermit, but hopefully with multiple `expect's and the ability to
branch depending on which `expect' I get.  Comments?
