terminal accessibility

[trent shipley]

You can get a whole shell main buffer in standard Linux Emacs.  I have no
idea what adaptive technology tools will do with it.  Back when I used BASH
via the Emacs full edit screen shell buffer, it was more convenient than a
terminal app in a lot of ways.  It also had some nasty gotchas or glitches,
but that was two decades ago.
