I have just installed Jess on my fancy new macbook (OSX_4). I find

using the command line is very limiting compared to the WinXP command

how I can get this functionality at the terminal, short of installing
Windows as well?
Actually, I have a neat solution for this; it works on all UNIX
variants, Mac OS X included. Go to http://jline.sourceforge.net and
download the JLine project. Unzip the thing to get yourself a
jline-0.9.9.jar . Then start Jess with
java -classpath wherever/jline-0.9.9.jar:wherever/jess.jar
jline.ConsoleRunner jess.Main
And, like magic, you'll get the Jess prompt with GNU-readline-like
command-line editing. You could edit the bin/jess script that comes
with Jess to do all this automatically, of course.
