That is not pdksh. tg@blau:/tmp/p/pdksh-5.2.14 $ PS1='x ' pdksh x echo "a > b" a b x set -o emacs x history 1 echo "a 2 b" 3 set -o emacs Another thing, multi-line editing is not doable portably without involving some beast like libtermcap or terminfo because you cannot portably go “one line up”. Although a multi-line command line input editing mode is on even my own wishlist for years I believe we will not do that. bye, //mirabilos -- „Cool, /usr/share/doc/mksh/examples/uhr.gz ist ja ein Grund, mksh auf jedem System zu installieren.“ -- XTaran auf der OpenRheinRuhr, ganz begeistert (EN: “[…]uhr.gz is a reason to install mksh on every system.”)
