Hello netpeople,

Ideas for improving the CLI:
============================
The following lines are dedicated to the AMIGA-OS-developers - maybe
you have done some of the things I will propose, but anyway - it would
be good then:

The first thing I recognized using the CLI was the lack of beeing unable
to use the cursor-keys for editing (why that? Do you like UNIX-shell ?).
The second thing was, that the AMIGA-CLI has no(!) real com-input-buffer
Maybe you should take a look at the VAX-VMS 4.2. There your last 20
coms are buffered and you can recall them by cursor up/down. I think you
should implement that useful option too. By the way, it keeps compatible
with the old CLI and offers more comfort.

                so long       Kosta
