        Is it possible to still gain the benefits of running your
sub-processes under Shell Mode, and still use the readline library?

Specifically, I would like to run GDB under 18.55, and gain the
benefits of having emacs deal with the source files.  However, I would
still like to use GDB's readline library for inputting at the command
line.  I know that under emacs there are many more editing
capabilities, but I really like some of readline's functions, like the
visual history (ctrl-p & ctrl-n).

Thanks!
