     Well, I, too use a SYSV machine that has all of the neat (and nice!! (-:)
Berkeley extensions, i.e. job control, FFS (Fast File System for all you non-
TLAers out there!!! (-:), and some other goodies; I don't like it as much as
a REAL BSD(TM of someone out there, I'm sure!!! (-:).

     Why??? I can still backspace over my prompt......

     For the humor-impaired amongst you out there, sprinkle even more (-:
than I already have, i.e. (in my best Foghorn Leghorn voice): "It's a joke,
son!!!!" And yes, although it does have job control, it doesn't have the
NEWER tty driver that handles things like my complain graciously......
