- I never was able to implement this from the FAQ on a 040 cube running 2.1.
- Niether was another friend with the same machine.
- I sort of wonder if anyone has done this the way it is explained in
- the FAQ...
- Anyway I just blew it off and learned the emacs bindings and like 'em
- just fine! If you don't know already, with editmode=emacs:
- previous = ^p (like uparrow in VMS)
- next = ^n
- back (for in-line editing) = ^b
- forward = ^f
- Where ^ means control.
- These are basics, for more info learn emacs.
