Could be a problem - as far as I know only BSD UNIX supports job control
which was one of the main reasons for the C shell. AT&T Unix variations
simply don't have it. You'll still be able to get history working (for
that matter I've added a history mechanism to the bourne shell - took
about three evenings if I remember)

P.S. I may be wrong about BSD being the only UNIX with job control
in which case I've got my asbestos suit ready :-)
