;;; Commentary:
;; 1) Set your shell's prompt to contain the current working directory.
;; You may need to consult your shell's documentation to find out how to
;; do this.
-;;
-;; Note that directory tracking is done by matching regular expressions,
+;;
+;; Note that directory tracking is done by matching regular expressions,
;; therefore it is *VERY IMPORTANT* for your prompt to be easily
;; distinguishable from other output. If your prompt regexp is too general,
;; you will see error messages from the dirtrack filter as it attempts to cd
;; 2) Set the variable `dirtrack-list' to an appropriate value. This
;; should be a list of two elements: the first is a regular expression
;; which matches your prompt up to and including the pathname part.
-;; The second is a number which tells which regular expression group to
+;; The second is a number which tells which regular expression group to
;; match to extract only the pathname. If you use a multi-line prompt,
;; add 't' as a third element. Note that some of the functions in
;; 'comint.el' assume a single-line prompt (eg, comint-bol).
-;;
+;;
;; Determining this information may take some experimentation. Setting
;; the variable `dirtrack-debug' may help; it causes the directory-tracking
;; filter to log messages to the buffer `dirtrack-debug-buffer'. You can easily
;; toggle this setting with the `dirtrack-debug-toggle' function.
-;;
+;;
;; 3) Add a hook to shell-mode to enable the directory tracking:
;;
;; (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
;; (function (lambda ()
-;; (setq comint-output-filter-functions
+;; (setq comint-preoutput-filter-functions
;; (append (list 'dirtrack)
-;; comint-output-filter-functions)))))
+;; comint-preoutput-filter-functions)))))
;;
;; You may wish to turn ordinary shell tracking off by calling
;; `shell-dirtrack-toggle' or setting `shell-dirtrackp'.
;; 'dirtrack-list' is set to (list "^\\([/~].*\\)\nemacs@[^%]+% *" 1 t)
;;
;; I'd appreciate other examples from people who use this package.
-;;
+;;
;; Here's one from Stephen Eglen:
;;
;; Running under tcsh:
;; (setq-default dirtrack-list '("^%E \\([^ ]+\\)" 1))
-;;
+;;
;; It might be worth mentioning in your file that emacs sources start up
;; files of the form: ~/.emacs_<SHELL> where <SHELL> is the name of the
;; shell. So for example, I have the following in ~/.emacs_tcsh:
-;;
+;;
;; set prompt = "%%E %~ %h% "
-;;
+;;
;; This produces a prompt of the form:
-;; %E /var/spool 10%
-;;
+;; %E /var/spool 10%
+;;
;; This saves me from having to use the %E prefix in other non-emacs
;; shells.
;;
;; A final note:
-;;
-;; I run LOTS of shell buffers through Emacs, sometimes as different users (eg, when
-;; logged in as myself, I'll run a root shell in the same Emacs). If you do this, and
-;; the shell prompt contains a ~, Emacs will interpret this relative to the user which
-;; owns the Emacs process, not the user who owns the shell buffer. This may cause
-;; dirtrack to behave strangely (typically it reports that it is unable to cd to a directory
