Ok, s/libedit/ksh lined editing/. Re bash - I'm mentioning it as an example of a different line-editing style (readline) for reference. In case I was not clear, let me reapeat: >> | If your ksh command line becomes long, it often doesn't wrap around >> | console to next line well I don't understand what kind of behavior the above is supposed to describe. Ksh man page doesn't mention wrapping, only scrolling In these editing modes, if a line is longer that the screen width (see COLUMNS parameter), a >, + or < character is displayed in the last col- umn indicating that there are more characters after, before and after, or before the current position, respectively. The line is scrolled horizontally as necessary. I normally use bash with "set horizontal-scroll-mode on" in .inputrc. I tried ksh and the scrolling behaviour i see with it is very similar to what I'm used to with bash except that it seems to scroll more agressively.
