I don't use mush and trn because I dislike a GUI, but because there are no GUI equivalents which are equally competent at their core functions and suit my style of working. I don't give up hope completely against finding more modern equivalents - it's not so many years since I finally abandoned a locally hacked version of the non-open non-portable Warwick shell for bash, once bash finally grew enough knobs to emulate what I found was a most natural style (essentially satisfied by tab-completion with show-all-if-ambiguous combined with history-search-{forward,backward} bound to ^N/^P, which was the hardwired behaviour of our hacked up wash since the mid-80s). It was a breath of fresh air to escape the restrictions of that old shell without losing its essential advantages. Cheers, Mark. -- "Tigers will do ANYTHING for a tuna fish sandwich."
