I don't know that one. Is it new? Extensible Shell. A lambda-calc shell based on Plan 9's rc. There was a USENIX paper on it a couple of years ago. You probably want to set erase to ^H and kill to (say) ^U here. Kinda moot under Emacs, tho. The rest of the stty stuff looks fine. I can't see anything that's appending the ^M, so I assume it's the shell. Same as sh, csh, and no combination of flags that I have found will stop it. Oh well, I can fix it in lisp. I see the ^Ms, but I'm confused. Above, you said 'es', now you're saying 'ash'. To the best of my knowledge, neither are standard with FreeBSD, though I at least know of ash. I should rather have said 'FreeBSD sh' than 'ash'. Do you have a particular reason to want to stay with this shell? Can't hardly get away from it ;-)
