    Since you're investing all that time, you might as well do the right
    thing and emulate ksh instead.  At least put in the vi/emacs command line
    editing features.  (You get a one-line very wide window in the command
    history stack.)

    I used csh for five years.  I loved it.  It took me a day to see that
    ksh was a vastly superior user interface.
