Hi, world, 

Here are some requests to all the "neters epoch - guru" :

1) When editing a text with epoch, it displays something like "--**-Epoch: textname.c"
at the bottom left of each "emacs window", in the information line.  The title of the
"X window" is always "*scratch*", the name of the first edited file, and it is the
same problem for the icon name which is not significant.

-> Is there some way, or some lines of code that I would put in my .emacs file, to
automaticly update the "icon-name" and "title" variables, to display the info line
"Epoch: textname.c" in the corresponding X window and the corresponding icon (and
which would choose the upper one for example if there is more than one emacs window in
the X window) ? ? ? ?

2) when I run a *shell* window:

a) Is there a way to call back previous commands from the history, like in tcsh/csh
C-p,C-n without running them, allowing editing, but without typing a lot, lot, lot of
keys :)

b) How get file completion with tabs, esc esc, or whatever ..

c) Is it possible to make "more" work correctly, i mean without all this "^G","^M",
etc :)

Thanks a lot in advance to all the great emacs knowledge masters who will help me.
