okay, in that case, would you be in a position to add-in the excellent
enhancements you made to your copy to the "rc" in plan9port?

is there a buildable version of es any longer? es is interesting, and worth a look but I think it failed to justify it's extra-user visible layers.I wrote a shell similar to rc before Byron's almost-clone. mirroring Duff's comments about sh, beating rc is not easy. the bar is really high.- erik
Oh, maybe it wasn’t so obvious, but this copy has edit, history and completion
which can be customized by defining a fn complete{} function.

I just wanted the shell, not the whole thing, it’s a port, because I started
from the copy in /sys/src/cmd/,
I didn’t want to use es either.

Here, this is what I have.
fn setprompt {
# delete old function
fn $ps1
PWD=`{pwd}
ps1='['^$sysname^':'^`{basename $PWD}^']%'
prompt=($ps1^' ' ' ')
fn $ps1 { if(! ~ $#* 0) $* }

printf '\033]7;%s\007' file

IIRC, with es you can get persistent history, and control your prompts
with arbitrarily complex logic, all without building stuff into
/bin/es. You can do it with es code in esmain or y
