\go sends the query buffer to the server.  You can have as many SQL
statements as you can stand in the query buffer, separated by ;.

The \e runs whatever editor you have set in your ING_EDIT ingres
variable.  (try: ingprenv ING_EDIT)  It sounds like you are getting
ed.  (ed is not rudimentary.  It is merely primitive.)

I haven't tried -history_recall.  It appears to be hand-coded rather
than using readline.  (I would assume for portability, but strangely
enough the feature seems to be restricted to Linux.)

I would agree that running isql demands a proper TERM_INGRES setup
to even be considered.
