Hi ng, first of all thanks for the discussion.
I'm think that there is no build-in function in bash, now. I thougth there could be an key-combination to handle that, like the <ctrl><z> (of course you do not need <alt>). Moreover I think this could really be a security issue. The trick with the shell script could work of course, but it is not so nifty I thougth it would be. ;-) To extend a running command, we have found some solutions that are working I think. But to edit an entered command line is tricky and not trivial. The only solution I see is to extend the shell functionallity. Maybe there is an other shell that have this bug/feature, but don't know one. THX /CrPy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
