put a line like:
	setenv TBMEMORY 10m
in your .login file... the 10m means 10meg.  You can go up to 16meg

MPW 3.1 doesn't work under A/UX 2.0 yet, 3.2 will work
though.. in the meantime you can make 3.1 work by breaking
into MacsBug when it's hung, and entering pc=pc+2;g.

Actually it's a function of the tty driver.  The BSD tty driver (which
A/UX doesn't use) handles this, the SysV tty driver does not.  What you
can do is run a shell such as tcsh (available from ohio state) which
internally keeps track of keys typed, and where the prompt string is,
etc.

Nope. That's not supported.
