Re: [Matlab-emacs-discuss] Bug report (patch): matlab.el: previous command at shell prompt fix

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

I was not able to reproduce this issue, but the patch seems to continue working fine for me, so I'll include it in the next check-in unless I discover something else along the way.

Thanks!
Eric

Subject: Bug report (patch): matlab.el: previous command at shell prompt fix

Hi,

Using the latest CVS matlab.el, and Matlab 2011a, pressing M-p or the up arrow does not recall previous history.  
Status line shows "History item 1", but the previous command gets inserted before the ">>" prompt and pressing RET gives an error like "Unknown operator >>" from Matlab.

This patch fixes it.  But it is unlikely to be the best solution.

Best
Mark
