Hi, Bill.

I'm sorry that I probably have led you on a wrong track.  I was under
the impression that ilisp would be using the version of comint-mode
which comes built-in with GNU Emacs (and which has got the
strip-ctrl-m facility).  Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Instead, ilisp appears to be using a quite old modified version of
comint mode (or its XEmacs version?).  Maybe an ilisp maintainer could
comment on this?

Yours, Nicolas.

P.S.: Your approach of scanning the whole buffer with every output is
hardly satisfactory.  Maybe you could merge those parts with
strip-ctrl-m from GNU Emacs comint-mode into the ilisp version?
