I got another CLI shell – this one is more full-blown than the last one I posted. It's getting closer to the C Shell. I'd actually rather go an alternate path than the C Shell's method of retrieving past command lines. I use an IBM program called CED : it uses the arrow keys to up/down the last command lines stored in its (configurable) sized queue… It also adds right/left/ins/del cursor editting of the command line. If it allowed $foo substitution, it would be perfect, but that's why I want to write/modify a better CED for the Amiga.
