Date: Sun 25-Feb-1989 02:26:25 From: Unknown Subject: csh(1) emacs-like command line editor I have been told that many people do not know that the version of csh being distributed by NeXT includes an emacs-like command line editor which I wrote several years ago. It is activated by setting the csh variable "editmode" to "emacs". This is most conveniently done by including the line "set editmode = emacs" in your .cshrc file. You can not only edit the command line using emacs-like commands, but you also have access to the history list, using ^P and ^N. These features, and others, are described in the csh(1) manual entry in the section "EXTENDED C-SHELL FEATURES". The description in the manual might lead you to believe that NeXT is responsible for these extensions, but they are not. They were created by me at CMU in 1983. Duane T.
