SQL*PLus is pretty brain damaged in those departments. Yup, the SQL*Plus editing functions are... awkward, yeah, that's a good word! I looked at Tora, but it was overkill for us. I found a very nice readline wrapper in Perl named uniread (http://unread.sourceforge.net) that works great for us. As a bonus, uniread is very general and can be used for just about any program that does not support readline editing. I even use it for nsupdate. It's very easy to install, but I wrote a specfile if you want to roll your own RPM. -- Jay Leafey - Memphis, TN jay.leafey at mindless.com
