In particular a use Ingres. Thus I frequently use the ">" character. Everything works fine... except when I wish to re-do a quel command that has a ">" in it. ( I do this by putting the cursor on the old command (which is of course somewhere upstream from end-of-buffer), and then hitting return (which in shell-mode is bound to shell-send-input. Invariable what gets sent is only that part of the line after the ">"! I suspect shell-send-input is treating everything to the left of the ">" as part of some supposed prompt. Is there any way of undoing this special meaning of the ">" vis shell-send-input. Thanks in advance.
