I can't take it any more!  After years of having systems which
used CTRL-U as the line kill character, I simply cannot get used
to using ESC, as the COMMAND.COM line editor wants.

Does anyone have a patch for COMMAND.COM to use ^U instead of ESC?

I presume this would be a one-byte patch -- unless there's some
obnoxious cleverness w/r/t ESC in general in COMMAND.COM.

Help?
