Little tidbits like you guys have just coughed up would have saved God
knows how much frustration here. There's always a solution, but finding
it might not be so easy.

Strange, isn't it? Something in the culture sticks to the trusted
tradition even when a clear improvement is available. Seems to be a
Linux/Unix wide thing. I still remember my first successful install of
Linux. Bash without even command recall and no DELETE key, and one was
expected to either already know emacs or to use the nano editor. DOS
seemed advanced by comparison. Even zsh, one might think there's be
some default to user friendly setup out of the box but that's not the
way. Anyway not to whine -- thanks for the 'info' tips.
