In 2.0 anyway, emacs mode bindings for [pd]ksh's 

\e\e	complete word
\e=	list possible completions
\e.	yank last word from previous line

there are probably more, but those are the ones that frustrate me the most.
Does our sh do ksh style arrays?  I find that invaluable for cd history.
eg.

: sjg:226; cd -l
 22 /var/db/pkg
 21 /NetBSD/current/src
<snip/>
  3 /homes/sjg/py/src/tools
  2 /g/sjg/work/sjg/mk
  1 /g/sjg/work/sjg/bin/bmake
  0 /homes/sjg
: sjg:227; 

cd -2 or cd -mk would take me to /g/sjg/work/sjg/mk

--sjg
