Well if you say things like this, I can see how people might think that.

Again, please be a little more understanding when reporting bugs.
Calling it "evil," "foul," "virulent," and "obnoxious" only get people
mad.  A simple "I seem to be having problems with command-line editing
on my NeXT running <os version>.  I'm running tcsh <version>, from the
binary I ftp'd from <host>" will do.  People will be much more
repsonsive to your problems.  I can see why you would be ignored.

I've never had this problem.  I've tried to duplicate your problem on a
NeXT running 2.0 and tcsh 6.00.  I run tcsh normally on Sun's, and have
been using 6.02 there and have never had a problem there, either.  I
suspect a terminal bug.  What terminal are you using?
