OK, then it's probably me who fails to understand why do you keep
talking about "M-x shell" when you need a terminal. This
"page-at-a-time" feature comes with terminal emulation. There's no need
to make "M-x shell" a real terminal because there already is one: "M-x
term". Is there something wrong with "M-x term"?
