Ron, you are the missing link between rational programming and montaigne-ism (living with the living.)
Are you swinging by here on your way back from Tampa? Wes
But maybe rio and acme are wrong. I guess we can worry about internal consistency in plan 9, but fact is, in the rest of the known universe, uparrow goes up a line, downarrow goes down, they move the cursor. We've got page up and page down; we could always use them. It was bad enough when right arrow and left arrow did what they did .... If we're halfway to readline, well, then, maybe people want it, and we should have it, and not having it was a mistake all along. You should be different if it makes sense; otherwise, don't. But the worst thing we can do is fall into the 'it's always worked this way' mantra. At that point, you might as well be a Fortran programmer. ron
