	I have become addicted to the 'tcsh' c-shell replacement on
my suns (3/50, sparcstation, running 4.0.3).  Unfortunately, when start
a sub-shell under GNUemacs, all of the lines are echoed, so that each line
looks like:

	ls^M
	ls
	...

	I believe that the tcsh is resetting the modes on the pty to
enable echo, which it is supposed to do on a normal terminal line.

	This does not happen with GNUemacs and the tcsh on my mips M/120,
however, I am running 18.52 on the mips and 18.55 on the sun.  I have
attempted to fix the problem by setting the variable "shell-file" to run
the csh, but I have not succeeded in getting a different shell.

	Any suggestions?
