I've attached two patches.  The first one is a proposed way to deal with
the indentation issues in sessions.  It is very similar to what
python.el does for multiline input (use a temporary file and then
execute that from the shell).  The second is an update of my previous
patch to remove shell prompt characters that are leaking into the
output.
