In csh, again the default is emacs. For vi use bindkey -v for vi editing behavior. -- Arun Khan ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

So, not just vim, but any preferred editor can be opened this way for editing the command. But given that a shell like bash by itself supports editor key-bindings, it should be easy enough to do it in the shell itself(at least for bash). By default, it is emacs key bindings and can be set to vi as well. Thanks -- Thank you Balachandran Sivakumar Arise Awake and stop not till the goal is reached.
