	Has anyone implemented job control in Bourne shell (sh)?
	I do know about ksh from Bell, but it is impossible to get 
	(we have tried several times).

Yes, UNIX-TM System V Rel. 2.

	It would also be nice if the shell had a simple line-editor 
	built in or on top.

As far as I know this capability isn't available for general
consumption, unfortunately.  This is probably the best feature of ksh.
