Shell Command Line Editing Under UNIX & PD Sources

[Root Boy Jim]

? From: "DON E. BRADLEY" <bradley at eglin-vax.arpa>

? In VMS, the user can edit and re-execute previous DCL command lines on VT
? terminals.  Is that capability available in Unix too.  I missed the
? beginning of the ILE dial-a-log, so I don't know if that is an acceptable
? answer. 

Perhaps you want tcsh, a public domain shell available from volume 10
of mod.sources on host uunet.uu.net via anonymous FTP. Unfortunately, it
consists of modifications to the csh sources, so you'll need them also.

A whole slew of other goodies is there too. Snoop around.

You might be interested in ksh, available from the AT&T Toolchest.

I can't remember whether the BRL shell does line editing or not.
