(Other real sh's cannot do it). ksh and pdksh, and bash has this feature, too; and in the csh-world, tcsh has it. sh/ksh/pdksh/bash: set -o emacs (you can use the cursor keys) or set -o vi (you can use the key combinations of the vi editor). Read the pdksh/ksh man page, it is full of information about command-line editing.
