Moving from linux to NetBSD-i386

[vasant <v_kanchan%yahoo.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I just loaded a PC with  NetBSD 1.5.2 with the intent to use NetBSD
in a embedded project. I have been using Linux before and one of the
features I liked was the command line editing with the help of the 
arrow keys. Is this implemented in the kernel or shell ? Can NetBSD
support this ?

Also what are the differences between the libraries libc.a, libc_p.a
and libc_pic.a.
