Oh no you shouldn't! Or perhaps I should instead say that,
having had much experience in writing state machines, they
are always problematic to debug and maintain. Their use is
almost always a case of having not used the appropriate
software tool, or justified by the primacy of execution speed.

Thank you! I wish that I could show you my own keybind
example implementing generalized autocompletion, but it's
stuck on another machine's harddrive. It's almost as
complex, and (if I understand your code sufficiently) shows
a design variation that allows binding of (multiple) keystrokes
to the output of a user-specified function. I've attempted a
different algorithm to map character sequences utilizing
hashes with a base 64 numerical radix, instead of the usual
associative array technique, which has limitations, but is
very fast.

I wonder, was this code written in regard to the issue
described in:
https://mailman.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-users/2004q1/000457.html

Obviously, you have seen DGK's keybind example, but
for those in C.U.S. who wish a demonstration example,
see:
http://www.kornshell.com/examples/keybind

A question: have you done GUI coding on dtksh?

Once again, thanks for submitting your code to C.U.S.
I thought _someone_ should respond to this contribution,
but I wanted to resolve the problem of the above keybind
URL being temporarily unavailable, before I posted.
