i have bash bindings that allow me to use vi as well as emacs style line editing.
in addition, they allow me to use the up/down arrows without the escape funkyness you describe here. let me know if you're interested. if i get alot of requests, i'll just post it to vox-tech. else i'll email it to interested parties. pete On Fri 13 Jun 03, 9:40 AM, Adrian Kalaveshi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > It's because it starts you off in input mode.
