Not 100% sure, since I don't have ConMan myself.  However, I have received
mail from many (~ 15) people who say that those two things work without
ConMan, and break with it.  Perhaps it is only some versions of ConMan?
I know they work fine without it, since I have tested them both
extensively with the normal AmigaDos console handler and both SKsh and
Matt's csh (3.02).

Oh, this just occurred to me.  If you run SKsh on top of conman, both
of them will think they are supposed to do command line editing (unless
you turn off editing in SKsh).  There could be some conflicts between
the two.  Can someone who was having this problem tell me if it still
arises with the SKsh editing turned off (with the 'e' flag) and conman
installed?
