I'm asking myself if there is a command like doskey for editing old command lines (not history!) or a program which could do it. Probably the most popular shell for all-around user-oriented features (as opposed to script-oriented features) is tcsh. Doskey sucks rocks through a straw compared to tcsh. Bash and ksh (pdksh actually) are others that are popular and work well, but require more work to get all the cool user-interface features to work automatically. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Michael L.
