There's something called the tcsh that I believe comes off of mit-prep
(maybe someone else has more details.) It provides a lot of what you are
asking for (command completion, an ESC-?  facility), well, you can
imagine, the 't' stands for 't'wenex I assume.

I think a much better suggestion would be for you to run one of the unix
shells on your VMS systems, I mean where do you think you're heading?
(slight :-)

Ok, who wants to start a pool for a date when the first person asks for
a JCL simulator under UNIX? I mean, UNIX has nothing at all equivalent
to DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE)! (large :-)

[I know, it's already been asked for, see 'man dd']
