Me too. Actually, I'm looking for a port of cshell or vi. Professional
OS9/68K comes with a copy of micro-emacs which is ok, but not great.
The standard shell is fast but dumb. It does not pass arguments to
scripts. It does not have variables. Needless to say, it does not
have history or aliases. It does support execution paths and
enviornment tables. So, I'm looking for a better shell and an
editor like vi. Anyone know of such software?
