I just read thru the csh man pages on the NeXT.  It looks like they have
added functionality similar to tcsh's into csh.  Specifically, if you set
the variable editmode to emacs, you will be able to use emacs-like syntax to
edit the current input line as well as the history.  Whether a vi mode
exists (yet?) wasn't specified, but it wouldn't hurt to try.  (man csh
for details.)

I would like to add that a command to list the current bindings should be
added.  (If I missed it in the man pages, my appologies.)


On another tangent, I would like to execute some commands on login iff I've
loged in remotely, but don't know how to check this in .login.  I have the
following basic form:
if (remote-login) then
	[execute some commands here]
	if (no-one-else-on)
		[execute some more commands here]
	endif
endif

where remote-login is true if I've rlogged in or telneted in, and
no-one-else-on is true if anyone else who is logged in has also logged in
via rlogin or telnet.  (Ie, the [execute some more commands here] line(s)
should not run if someone is logged in at the machine itself.)  Is there any
way to determine these from w/in a csh script?

Thanks for any help.
