Personally I think the Bourne shell functions are better than Cshell
aliases.  I am having a fine time with my UNIX System V Release 2
shell.  Even better, Ron Natalie added job control to it.  Now, if
we could figure out a good way to edit command history (Cshell !
stuff is not the right way), we could junk csh altogether.  Anybody
have a good history mechanism for the Bourne shell?  (It's hard..)
