It provides a lot of what you are asking for (command completion, an ESC-? facility), well, you can imagine, the 't' stands for 't'wenex I assume. I think a much better suggestion would be for you to run one of the unix shells on your VMS systems, I mean where do you think you're heading? (slight :-) Ok, who wants to start a pool for a date when the first person asks for a JCL simulator under UNIX? I mean, UNIX has nothing at all equivalent to DISP=(NEW,KEEP,DELETE)!
