Thanks a lot!
When i switched to emacs in about 2006 from 4 years of xemacs, i was
quite annoyed by this behavior. I remember i posted this question, i
got some silly responses from emacs regulars in comp.emacs, who says
that something to the effect that “sometimes you need to copy the
prompt”.
in my opinion, this is one of the usability problem, so obvious yet
some of the tech geekers dont seem to be able to see it.
