Re: Comint read-only-prompt

[Luc Teirlinck]

The following simple patch seems to fix the problem completely for the
program I am experimenting with (GAP).  It allows some text to be
misfontified, but that text gets erased anyway.

If it works for you too and if there are no objections in the next two
days or so, I will install it.
