I'm glad I found another 2645 fan.  I've been using this series of
tubes for years on mainly BTL UNIX varieties and here's what I do.
First of all my prompt or PS1 is PS1=':; '  To the Bourne shell this
is a null command which causes it to just go around its command loop
once.  Second I use stty to set my kill character to ^X which is a
non printing character.  Finally I set the -lfkc option which keeps
UNIX from echoing a LF-CR pair with the line kill. Echoing a line
feed-carriage return with the kill is a fairly recent phenom.
Then I use the editing keys do delete and insert. I can also just
overwrite if I want.  Then its just Control-X and enter.

I personally find all these variant shells with their history
mechanisms overrated.
