For almost three years now I have been using
an adaptation of GNU EMACS' shell mode with multiple
named shells (so that I can just switch windows
when I would otherwise use job control)
and a built in history mechanism.

I have been negligent in getting these extensions back to the FSF
and, when I saw the post from the guy from Ardent who had almost
the same functionality, I decided not to bother.
    If you can't find the other extensions, give me a yell (hell,
I probably have some on a tape somewhere). Maybe this weekend
I'll sit down and figure out what to keep and what to throw away.

Side comment: System V would be intolerable without multiple windows.
With windowing, System V and KSH are almost as pleasant as
BSD (except for 14 char filenames and no symlinks).
