Yes, there is no easy way that I know of to wait until a command returns
w/o adding some sort of sleep command or complicated filter, so all
commands are inserted before the shell has a chance to respond.

sadly there is no comparable elisp library that I am aware of.  Luckily
it shouldn't matter as the commands are still input to the shell in the
same order, and the output is still collected directly form the shell
with a filter.

Correct, I don't believe this is related to the problem.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my earlier email.  You will need to craft
your own regexp to replace "^\(.+\)" in the above code.  This is because
you will need to match your own prompt as it appears in your *shell*
buffers locally.  This would be the product of your personal .bashrc or
.zshrc prompt configuration.  The example I pasted above matches my own
prompt which has a non-standard

( ~ )

style.

Nope, I use a different prompt.  To match a prompt like what you have
above you'd want to use something like closer to the default value of
"^[^#$%>\n]*[#$%>] *".  Sorry for the confusion here.

I'm not sure, a fixed prompt regexp should solve the problem.  I now
believe that ansi-coloring may have been a red-herring.  I *do* have
colored ls output aswell, however the following works for me without any
hang.  The only difference I can see between our setups is a matching
prompt regexp.

Hope this is helpful. Best -- Eric
