That's just the way the ksh command line editor works. Somebody would have to rewrite it from scratch / hook in editline(3) and redo the whole area of the command line editor and key bindings. pdksh's command line editor is patterned after that of ksh88, which was purposely constrained to a single line so it could be implemented with backspace/carriage return and overprinting, without requiring arbitrary cursor positioning and termcap(3). -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de
