The editor, etc., would have to include bash support. That's why I wrote 
"Within the constraints of support".

Are you referring to z/OS 2.5 ISPF Edit and Edit Macros, SC19-3621-50? That 
seems to have CLIST and REXX examples but not COBOL.

But how can one interface (e.g.) Bash to an editor, a terminal emulator,
or other utility?  The ISPF Ref. has (too many?) examples for COBOL,
CLIST, ... and too few for REXX ADDRESS ISREDIT.
