Creating faces

[Stephen Ince]

Can anyone tell me how I can define a new face in Xemacs 19.13.
I am trying to highlight my shell prompt in the "*shell buffer*".

Also, what terminal does Xemacs' shell mode best emulate. I have
problems running programs that filter there output through a pager.

XEmacs, not Xemacs.

make-face: (NAME &optional DOC-STRING TEMPORARY)
-- a built-in function.
Defines and returns a new FACE described by DOC-STRING.
You can modify the font, color, etc of a face with the set-face- functions.
If the face already exists, it is unmodified.
If TEMPORARY is non-nil, this face will cease to exist if not in use.

emacs is probably the best type. You might want to check out tshell,
part of Per Bothner's eterm package (included in 19.13). It emulates
an ANSI terminal.
