There are two submodes: line mode and char mode. By default, you are
in char mode. In char sub-mode, each character (except
-`term-escape-char') is set immediately.
+`term-escape-char') is sent immediately to the subprocess.
+The escape character is equivalent to the usual meaning of C-x.
In line mode, you send a line of input at a time; use
\\[term-send-input] to send.
