The control characters from shells are generally provided courtesy of
the terminal driver.  Try 'stty nl' to the shell, which tells the
terminal driver that the ``terminal'' (i.e. emacs) will automatically
provide carriage returns for newlines and the tty driver needn't
insert them.

The reason this ``works'' some places and not others is probably
related more to individual users' .profile or .cshrc files than
anything else.

Also, a while back, Robert Wells posted some mods to shell-mode (I
think based on telnet-mode) which work if you let the tty driver echo
- they delete all typed input as it is sent to the shell and then the
tty driver's echo (or the shell's for that matter) pops back just as
though you weren't typing through an emacs window.  One nice feature
is that non-echoed things such as passwords disappear from you buffer
once you hit return.  I don't know if they also suppress the unneeded
CR's or not - I expect not.  I can dig these changes up for anyone
who's interested, as can Robert I expect (rwells@bbn.com).
