NeXT's csh command line editing, is a weak copy of what's available from more modern shells such as tcsh, zsh, ksh and others. They have many other features including command and filename completion. > Is there any way to get that emacs editmode into other UNIXes. yes, just use a shell that supports command line editing, I recommend tcsh (free from tesla.ee.cornell.edu) but there are several others as mentioned above. it may already be on the system you are using. -- --------------------------------------------------- Alex Blakemore alex@cs.umd.edu NeXT mail accepted
