John Bell our local UNIX guru says that there shouldn't be a problem here if=
 
you are used to using the arrow keys.  The only thing is you are not in emac=
 
mode at the shell as opposed to vi mode.  Other keys no longer do what they 
normally do at the prompt.  If you are in the vi editor some basic key 
functions can operate the same at the shell prompt.  By switching to emac
you 
change these key functions to the emac set.  If you arn't using vi at all
then 
it doesn't make much difference.  For someone who has been using vi for 10 
years and never performed a set -o emac might find this a headache.

Hey Gang,
 
Without getting into debates on which unix editor is better, perhaps
someone who's running Powerhouse on Unix could try adding the following to
their script (or .profile) and let us know if the arrow keys will work? By
adding the following to your .profile (ksh login) the arrow keys will work
at the UNIX level like those on the VAX, but I don't think they will work
within QUIZ.
 
anyway, here it is:

set -o emacs

# map cursor keys for command-line editing
alias __A="$(print '\020')"    # Ctrl-P   (up)
alias __B="$(print '\016')"    # Ctrl-N   (down)
alias __C="$(print '\006')"    # Ctrl-F   (right)
alias __D="$(print '\002')"    # Ctrl-B   (left)
 
That's it!
