Is it possible to have the shell mode re-sync its current-directory on
a pwd command? Either by recognizing that a pwd command was typed or
by a key-binding that somehow figures it out (send a pwd command and
get the response)? Maybe there could be a regexp that describes what a
"pwd" command will look like that gets matched against the command.
Now, I don't know enough to know how possible it would be to grab the
command's output (if it can even be reliably identified).

Does the new directory tracking stuff allow me to say "cd -" to "goto
the previous directory"? My ksh allows that (actually, I think it's a
bunch of functions that get loaded up that do it).

I've noticed a few other things...
  -Could it recognize a "Password:" prompt at the beginning of a line
   and not echo the chars? or is there a better way to get a
   super-user shell?

  -A lot of times, when I run an interactive command I start getting
   commands echoed back at me, and sometimes "^M" at the end of each
   line... Would this be because the command is doing some stty/ioctl
   commands? Anyone know of the magic incantation to give stty to
   correct things?
