34 ;;; Commentary:
35
36 ;; There is nothing to be done or configured in order to use this
37 ;; module, other than to select it by customizing the variable
38 ;; `eshell-modules-list'. It will then display a version information
39 ;; message whenever Eshell is loaded.
40 ;;
41 ;; This code is only an example of a how to write a well-formed
42 ;; extension module for Eshell. The better way to display login text
43 ;; is to use the `eshell-script' module, and to echo the desired
44 ;; strings from the user's `eshell-login-script' file.
45 ;;
46 ;; There is one configuration variable, which demonstrates how to
47 ;; properly define a customization variable in an extension module.
48 ;; In this case, it allows the user to change the string which
49 ;; displays at login time.
