Has anybody using the Korn shell in Microport Unix 386 been able to get the emacs line editing mode to work. The vi mode works fine for me, but emacs, nope. -- Staffan Eriksson @ TeleLOGIC AB

The first thing I tried after loading my updated Software Development System was the emacs editing mode of the Korn shell. No dice. The Korn shell is configurable at "make" time for the editing modes, and evidently, Microport decided that "vi" mode was important (after all, vi comes with the product) and "emacs" mode was not. In frustration, I ended up compiling ksh from the source (we have a site license) and not have emacs command line editing. Microport, are you listening? Please give us poor emacs users command line editing (just a cry for you unfortunates without source). -- Ken Keirnan -- Pacific Bell -- {ihnp4,sun,ames,pyramid}!pacbell!pbhyf!kjk San Ramon, California kjk@pbhyf.PacBell.COM
