I was too much used to command line editing features of KSH in HP-UX. One thing that used to annoy me in BASH was the lack of VI like command line editing. Finally read the GNU readline manual, and it is very simple. Just enter the following command.

set -o vi

Now, if I can add that to Windows version of SQL*Plus, I’ll be very happy :-)
