Dave,
 
The package you are looking for is called CRAFT. CRAFT contains a
very good shell (called "GPshell") and editor (called "STedi"),
the last one completely written in assembler (FAST!).
 
The "GPshell" is almost 100% csh compatible. It is even possible 
to use a slash as the default path separator! History, 
commandline editing with cursor keys, I/O redirection, pipes, 
aliases, REAL pattern matching, filename completion, 
if-then-else, foreach, switch: GPshell has it all. Plus a lot of 
utilities: an integrated make, format, time, built-in ramdisk & 
disk cache, fgrep, etc etc.
 
One of the (many) excellent features of "STedi" is a very powerful
and flexible tab handler. You can set tabs anywhere you want (for
example tab stops at position 4, 6, 9, 15, 30 & 40). There is
also a command to replace spaces by tabs or vice-versa. Using a
special FORTRAN wrap-line mode, it is even possible to let STedi
automatically insert the continuation character this language
needs.
 
CRAFT comes with an extensive manual (in english, over 600 pages)
and costs Fl 395,- (about $200). The manufacturer is:
