shell customization help

[Kin Cho]

Hi,

I eval (shell), then type "ls -l" in the new shell buffer.

Since the output is long, I cursor up to look at the outputs that
has scrolled off the window.

What I want to do now is to type another shell command, but the
keys self insert at point, which isn't what I want.  How do I
make the cursor jump to the end of the buffer (and insert the
char I just typed) as soon as I type something (or press return)?

Thanks.
