Re. local command line editing The Korn shell allows the user to specify an editor and then uses a similar style to edit command lines. For example, if vi is my editor of choice and I type "ls file", I can then hit the following sequence: Esc b i -l Esc to insert the desired -l.

Yeah, a lot of shells (including our Bourne shell) have similar support. The original request was for a way to obtain such editing other than when typing at the shell, e.g. for terminal input to an application program.
