> To reproduce:
>
> 1. cut the following command:
>
> echo 'hello
> world'
>
> 2. M-x shell
> 3. paste and hit return
> 4. see the following echoed:
>
> hello
> world
>
> 5. C-x k (kill shell)
> 6. M-x shell
> 7. M-p (yank back last command)
> 8. see that you only get:
>
> world'
>
> 9. M-p (yank again)
> 10. see that you only get:
>
> echo 'hello

Doing this in bash, I get the same result because it saves multi-line
commands on separate lines in ~/.bash_history and reads each line as
a separate command.  Why should Emacs be different in this regard?
