A few days ago, while writing a shell script, I found myself doing a
little digging through the sh man pages and I came across something that
I had never noticed before.  The -E option...which enables 'emacs style
command-line editing'.  You know, that's pretty friendly.  The forward
and back arrows work...and up recalls the last command executed.

Never realized that capability was built into the bourne shell.
