   d) there should be a wholesale way to get emacs behaviour for cut and

What an interesting comment.  First off, I didn't change squat about
bindings when I added the line wraping stuff.  Second, tcsh _does_ do
NUL sets mark, ^W cuts, ^Y pastes; vis:

   morganucodon ~ 6 -> bind ^Y
    ^Y             yank
   morganucodon ~ 7 -> bind ^W
    ^W             kill-region
   morganucodon ~ 8 -> bind ^@
    ^@             set-mark-command
   morganucodon ~ 9 -> echo $version
   tcsh 5.12 (Ohio State) 2/11/89 Patch level 1


On the other hand, I agree that the *s everywhere in the prompt is a
mis-feature.  Perhaps a shell variable to turn it off?
