[comp.sys.sun] Command line editor

bakke@uunet.uu.net (Jeff Bakke) (02/01/90)

It seems that this would be the most appropriate newsgroup to ask this
question.  Is there a Public domain command line editor for the Sun?  (OS
4.0 with C-Shell).  I know that the cshell keeps a history and you can
substitute ^arg1^arg2 type commands but is there anyway to bring up a
command and edit it on the line???

Thanks...

Get bash-1.04 from prep.ai.mit.edu (Bourne Again Shell).  It keeps a
history of your commands, and you can edit them to your heart's content.
You can also do an emacs style i-search back through the command line
history.
