Why doesn't ksh have something like this? I hate having to use
fc and mess around with its output - and that's soooo inefficient!
I'm not a ksher, so I can't answer directly, but System V.2 sh has just the
thing, shell functions:
readandset () { echo "$1\c"; read $2; }
To my eye, at least, it even looks better!
