[ksh93-integration-discuss] No line editing mode set snv_72

[Gary Gendel]

In snv_72, I'm playing around with ksh93.  I start it up from a tcsh environment (yes, I'm an old-time sys-admin), but I don't get any line editing capabilities (or history).  If I type:

set -o gmacs

viola!  I put:

set -o gmacs

in my .kshrc file (along with other things). Everything else in there seems to be working except the command line editing. However, typing the above command in manually seems to work fine. Other "set" commands seem to work, such as "set -x". I even see the "set -o gmacs" in that output.

I'm at a loss to explain this. What the heck don't I know about starting ksh93? :)

As long as I'm asking questions... Tcsh has this nice "compact" path notation that I use in my current prompt (uses ellipses ...). Is there an equivalent for ksh93? Long paths make an unwieldy prompt.
