Couldn't you get a lot of the functionality with very little work by using the GNU readline facility?

apart from backspace. Is there some way of gaining this functionality (cursor movement, history, editing..) without using emacs?
the problem is that (in our modest opinion) it does not really make sense to put all this within the Ciao shell, when it is already done by the graphical environment (which, in our case, is the Ciao emacs mode). Also, the environment provides so many other things (coloring, menus, on-line help, etc.) that we just have to strongly recommend that you usue it: it really makes a huge difference in the usability. In return for you trying it we offer to answer all your emacs questions... :-) --Man
