Right you are, Ronald. Thanks for the correction. I never use them bare; I always run Emacs in them and create a shell buffer. Consistent editing everywhere. OK, now I understand (though I still struggle to understand why people use raw terminal emulators, on modern machines; the ATK typescript ruined me :-). And the IPython example makes sense, as well.
