- I'm trying to generate a prompt which would allow users many
- of the spiffy lineeditting characteristics that tcsh has (^A to
- goto beginning of line, ^K to kill the rest of the line, ^E to
- get to the end of the line, arrow keys, etc). Is there a script
- out there already that does that? Is there also a better
- documented version of 'termcap.pl' (which has more than a header
- of 4 short usage examples)?
