   I am posting this for a friend of mine who doesn't have access
to USENET, so please respond directly to mlevin@jade.tufts.edu.

   Is there any way to write an Emacs LISP function which would
provide input to (and read the output of) shells running in an Emacs
window? What I want to do is to have telnet running in an emacs
window, and use a function which would automatically log me in and
execute some commands by sending text (like my username, etc.)
directly to the telnet program. the insert function doesn't work - the
text goes into the buffer, but the program doesn't seem to see it. Any
ideas? Thanks in advance.
