There's also the point that ksh does not do multi-line commands like
bash does (not a statement of superiority, just a fact) so clearing
the screen to have it all to enter a command is pretty useless.
sigh... does _nobody_ use vi input mode? you're one letter away in
command mode to bring your entire edit buffer into a full fledged and
very powerful text editor! Multi-line indeed!!
Really, if you're going to use emacs input mode, then you are just
asking for a kludgy, confusing, and feature-limited line editor.
