Re: Cursor producing ^[[C

[David Brownlee <abs%anim.dreamworks.com@localhost>]

        You can install tcsh with:

pkg_add 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.3/amiga/shells/tcsh-6.07.02.tgz

        (There are many other precompiled packages there also)

        From within the NetBSD 'sh' you can type 'set -E' to enable emacs
        like command line editing.
