Re: under termianl emacs, how to start a process and make it believe it's running inside a termial?

[Shiyao Ma]

sorry for my first mail. It seems a little misleading.


It's not to allocate a term-ish thing for ranger *from emacs*.

Indeed, I'd like to run "ranger" as the foreground process, since I am
already inside terminal.



Btw, the M-x term thing failed, out put here:

But it's not relevant here because the terminal should be my own terminal.



regards.
