Well yes, but with bash (or at least the version I saw in my brief
flirtation with ARMLinux [1]) all you have to do is press the cursor
keys and you're editing the command line - very nice :-). So is it
possible to get ksh to do that, either by binding keys in vi or emacs or
by some other method?

[1] I couldn't get the keyboard working properly and there isn't nearly
so much help available on its mailing list as "ours".
