Why do I have to choose totally dumb windows (shelltool) or windows that are full text editors (cmdtool)? Of course when editing is disabled in a cmdtool, you lose the scrollback. Could one easily write a SunView program to create a scrollable window without all the Textedit rot? Does such a thing already exist?

I use tcsh, which allows one to review recent commands using the up-arrow (a nice feature copied from VMS, i guess). This feature is somehow disabled in any suntool window with a scroll bar, eg a cmdtool. It works in X windows with scroolbars.
