  23. I dunno about csh, but ksh *does* do command line editing.  You have to
  24. do "set -o emacs" in your .profile (or "set -o vi" although I've not tried
  25. that).  Then control characters are used for the editing.  Control-P recalls
  26. the previously typed command, Control-B moves back 1 char, Control-F moves
  27. forward 1 char, Control-D deletes a char, and-so-on.
