Re: scrolling in comint mode always conservative

[Richard M. Stallman]

    I have `comint-scroll-show-maximum-output',
    `comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-input', and
    `comint-scroll-to-bottom-on-output' all set to nil, and yet my comint
    buffers still scroll conservatively.  

    I notice the following in `comint-mode':

      ;; This makes it really work to keep point at the bottom.
      (make-local-variable 'scroll-conservatively)
      (setq scroll-conservatively 10000)

    which appears to be the culprit, if I set it to 0, I get the normal
    emacs scrolling I am looking for.

I put that in because it did not work otherwise.  So I can't take it
out.  I could imagine conditionalizing that setq on some of those
other variables, such as comint-scroll-to-bottom...  That would not
be 100% correct, since changing those variables would not have the
right effect on an existing shell buffer.  But it might be better
than nothing.
