(I lost the answer) How to run vi,Lynx,etc within emacs window?

[David Combs]

I asked this question some years ago, and thought
I saved the answer, but I can't find it.

There was some mode I could run, which would let me
run a cursor-jumping program like vi or lynx from
within emacs. But I don't remember what it was,
nor can I find it in my notes.

And google: I don't even know what to search for.

So I'm asking you.

THANKS!

Those programs run in terminal so let's start one:

M-x term

"M-x term", perhaps?

Yes, thanks to you both!

Once I saw the M-x term, I searched my notes for "x term", and
discovered this from that years-ago forgoten post:

| M-x term provides a more sophisticated shell terminal that does support
| advanced I/O. However, it can be a bit slower than M-x shell and has
| some slightly different key bindings, such as character mode an dline
| mode. This is the shell to use if you wanted to run something like lynx
| or mutt etc.


Thanks again!
