The csh editing has this too, but it's different! In emacs, <> C-t transposes the characters before & after dot; in csh it transposes <> the two characters before the cursor position! Just enough different to <> totally confuse almost anybody. (Also, the emacs version advances dot by <> one, and the csh versions doesn't.) I don't have a NeXT yet (it's my next machine, though); the behavior you describe is also typical of ksh. If you want a genuine C-t transpose, you may need to use tcsh where it works (that's why I gave up on ksh and Ctrl-t-ed to tcsh!) Hardy Mayer ----****---- Professor Meinhard E.
