Richard and I discussed this a bit offline, but wanted to send
something to the list for archival use.  What he noted up there does
work fine for me.  I put that command (sexpr?) in my shell-mode-hook
so it'll always be there, and so far so good.  Thanks again.

(defun my-shell-setup ()
  ""
  (set-buffer-process-coding-system 'undecided-unix 'undecided-unix)
  )

(setq shell-mode-hook 'my-shell-setup)


(As an aside, is setq any better or worse than add-hook, other than
the possibility of overwriting existing hook calls?)
