It's not only doing its best to become a full Posix shell (which means it resembles much more the Korn shell than a `classic' Bourne shell), but it also has a command-line editor. Simply type `set -o emacs', or if you're a lazy type `set -E'. The advantage: works even in single-user mode. Using the csh is certainly only recommendable for those types like me who are really used to it, and can't live without !!:0 !$ ^foo^bar^:& stuff. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
