OK, I have to correct myself then, it's not broken only ugly because it treats a single command as several separate entries ;) > >Could you modify the history code to store multiple lines as a > >single item?

I guess the format is a deal breaker, the latter has always been the case with original ksh, that is the inline editor only allows modification of the last line of a multi-line command, otherwise you need to use FCEDIT. -- Guido Berhoerster
