shell preprocessor for history & alias

[Chris Torek]

Hmmm....  a "history preprocessor"...

Well, to get around the pipes problem, you could always use ptys (does
System V *have* ptys?).  But I wonder what exactly "history" means in
a program like VI or Emacs.  If you take the C shell history mechanism
(please! :-) ) as your base idea, then you have "lines" of stuff with
a "redo this line with the following changes" command, which doesn't
seem to be too useful with screen editors.
