EXAMPLES

DESCRIPTION
New in K200 and up, this command lets you change the OPCS command
line to respond to interactive text editing keystrokes, allowing
Insert/Delete and Left/Right arrows for line editing,
and Up/Down arrow keys for command history.
'cmdline dos'
-------------
This is the very old MS DOS style line editing using F2/F3/F5 function
keys, and left/right arrow keys. It's basically whatever the default
MS-DOS command line editing provides.
'cmdline editor'
----------------
This is the new editor style, which supports more interactive line
editing that people are generally familiar with in interactive
text editors like MS-DOS 'EDIT', NOTEPAD, etc. Edit keys supported:
Up Arrow -- previous line in command history (^P)
Dn Arrow -- next line in command history (^N)
Lt Arrow -- move reverse one char on current line (^B)
Rt Arrow -- move forward one char on current line (^F)
Backspace -- backspace and delete (^H)
Delete -- delete character (^D)
Home -- move to start of current line (^A)
End -- move to end of current line (^E)
Ctrl-Home -- jump to top of command history
Ctrl-End -- jump to bottom of command history (current line)
Ctrl-Left -- word left
Ctrl-Right -- word right
^K -- clear to end of line
^U -- clear current line (hit again to 'undo')
^V -- enter next character literally
ESC -- clear current line (hit again to 'undo')
