I prefer tcsh and this method.  I use gnuemacs all the time and have
my PC keyboard remapped to work with emacs.  Tcsh uses the arrow keys
to select commands out of my history, the cut buffers also work (C-K
and C-Y).  Tcsh also has some advancements to the aliasing portion of
the code.  A reference to it on saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu anonymous

don't have the exact address on me)
