- How about hmmmmm... esc-p and esc-n :-)
- I think this is default. (Logical extension to history-back
- history-forward. Kind of like parallel between char-forward and
- word-forward in emacs)

- And, if you do the following in your .login or .tcshrc file, meta-p and
- meta-n work. How convient. :-)
-
- if ( $?prompt ) then
- if ( "`echotc meta`" == "yes" ) then
- stty pass8
- endif
