There are a several versions of tenex completion and line-editing front-ends for csh out there. Ken Greer at HP sent out the first one in Oct 1983. Paul Placeway sent out a version of a line editor front end about 2 years ago. I have another which I wrote because I don't like Paul's. I'd distribute it, but I've had problems (political, not technical) with doing so. The distributed front-ends of this type for csh have always been distributed with manual pages of some sort. If you haven't got such manual pages around, complain to your sysadmin about it. -- Karl Kleinpaste
