I still think that some standards are good, and the emacs characters
have become something of a defacto standard for editing and history
manipulation.  I've seen the emacs bindings in everything from bash to
the Motif text widget (as well as many others) and think that we should
follow suit.  I don't know about you guys, but ^P and ^N are now wired
directly into my fingers! :-)

[And FWIW, I also used to use wordstar - the color text enhancements
to the original wordstar were mine, in fact]
