Cough Cough! Ahem Ahem! I *beg* to differ. Rather, I *demand* to differ.
*Obligatory?* Yeah right. After you get frustrated half an hour with its
damn non-destructive backspace, then ditz with it another hour on its 
half-assed command line editor, and you're left with a huge piece of code
that's not worth its weight in ^@'s.  Bourne Again? More like Burned Again.

Get tcsh. Now that's a real shell.

>I mostly agree, although I'm partial to zsh for some strange reason.  :-)

Wonder why :-) Once Paul finishes a decent line editor, I'll use it too.
