The FreeBSD's sh (ash) has the ability to edit the command line.
(Other real sh's cannot do it).  ksh and pdksh, and bash has this feature,
too; and in the csh-world, tcsh has it.
sh/ksh/pdksh/bash: set -o emacs (you can use the cursor keys) or
set -o vi (you can use the key combinations of the vi editor).
Read the pdksh/ksh man page, it is full of information about command-line
editing.

Bye, Gabor
