Thanks to those helpful folks who recently pointed me at bash 1.05.
I now have the thing successfully installed under Interactive 386/ix 2.0.2.
(with only a moderate amount of cursing)
My only troubles now are :
1) Under csh, I used to get really nice colour 'ls' output using
something like the following in my .cshrc :
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
set userid=`id | awk -F\( '{print $2}' | awk -f\) '{print $1}' `
set todaydate="`date | cut -c5-10`"
if ( "$term" == "AT386" || "$term" == "vt100" ) then
alias ls "ls -CF \!* | sed -e 's;\([a-zA-Z0-9._+-]*\)/;^[[35m\1^[[0m/;g'
-e 's;\([a-zA-Z0-9._+-]*\)\*;^[[31m\1^[[0m/;g'
-e 's/${userid}/^[[36m${userid}^[[0m/'
-e 's/${todaydate}/^[[33m${todaydate}^[[0m/' "
endif
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This made for a messy alias, but it worked well and was fast.
Under bash, I converted this to a function, something like:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
function ls () {
/bin/ls -CF $* | /bin/sed -e 's;\([a-zA-Z0-9._+-]*\)/;^[[35m\1^[[0m/;g'
-e 's;\([a-zA-Z0-9._+-]*\)\*;^[[31m\1^[[0m/;g'
-e 's/${userid}/^[[36m${userid}^[[0m/'
-e 's/${todaydate}/^[[33m${todaydate}^[[0m/'
}
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Unfortunately, the last two sed expressions aren't working, because the
variables userid and todaydate are not being substituted at all.
ie sed thinks it's looking for '${userid}' rather than the value of userid.
Any ideas why this is so? I really liked the ability to colour code
my own files and today's files.
2) How is it possible to rebind the bash line-editing keys to be those my
(unconfigurable) console produces? ie VT100-type sequences like
^[[A for up and ^[[B for down etc.
Things like :
Control-[[A: previous-history , or
Meta-[A: previous-history
in my .inputrc aren't working.
I don't have international mailing privs to reply to you from here, but I
will summarize to the net if anyone wants me to.
Thanks hugely for any help.

You should get bash-1.08 and the accompanying patch #1 from prep.ai.mit.edu.
The improvement over 1.05 is astonishing.
$ -e 's/${userid}/^[[36m${userid}^[[0m/'
$ -e 's/${todaydate}/^[[33m${todaydate}^[[0m/' "

Variable substitution does not occur between single quotes in all Bourne-
style shells. The variables would be expanded if you used double quotes,
but I'm not sure that wouldn't break something else.

I think they will work with 1.08.
