I like the 'csh' history mechanism also, but I have one problem with
it (but I don't think it's easily fixable).  The lab I work in is
air-conditioned (aren't they all) and always very cold.  When I've
been working for a long time, my coordination suffers from the cold.
When that happens, I tend to miss the <CR> key and hit <DEL> instead
which discards all queued input on the line.  This is really
frustrating because the line was never executed, and isn't put into the
history list, so I can't redo it, but must retype the whole line over
again (a real pain when it was a long command).
