Actually I still use the BRL version of the Bourne Shell,
which was adaptable via compile-time parameters to fit any
known Unix environment (including Research), and optionally
supported pathname completion, EMACS-like command-line
editing, job control, scrollable/searchable history, etc.
which is hard to live without once one has gotten used to
it.  I haven't tried porting it to the native Plan 9
environment.
