The latest version of CED in the public domain is 1.0C.  No CED is not
a unix-like c-shell, it does just what NDOSEDIT does, but better.  It
gives you a command stack which you can scroll through with the cursor
up and down keys, lets you do editing of commands in obvious ways with
cursor left/right, backspace, insert, delete etc. while viewing the
command.  With CED1.0C the standard DOS keyboard functions like F3 to
recall the remainder of the previous line also work.  It supports a
separate stack and synonyms for things like EDLIN or DEBUG which use
the same interrupt function for input, the use in debug is particularly
helpful.

The synonym function is also a superset of NDOSEDIT's.  The lines in
your profile look a little different (SYN name definition) and can use
parameters like %1, chain to other synonyms, define multiple commands
to one synonym, etc.  You can also define synonyms on the fly with no
problems.

It has a number of other nice functions, and has been compatible with
everything I've ever run--including lots of other resident programs.
Available on Compuserve in IBMSW SIG, where the author Chris Dunford
(I think) continues to live and is available for bugs etc.
