emacs as a line editor

hello,
I would like to use emacs as a line editor (I use emacs as editor).

Thank you for any help

M-x shell, and you have as close as you can get to it. A shell with an emacs window. Some things will work others not.

Thank you for your answer but my question was : how can I use emacs as editor on the shell line. As, when I do "set -o vi", I can recall a command with "Escape-K" or "Escape-J" and so on.
I have read emacs can be used for that. But "set -o emacs" doesn't seem to give anything after.

Make sure you set +o vi too...

e.g.

set +o vi
set -o emacs

Then, C-p and C-n to cycle through history.

man bash.....

Cheers

Thank you very much. That's all I need. I can now manage with emacs as line editor.

One question more : have you heard of .fkrc (I suppose it's a file in my home directory) ?
If I am right, I can define in the arrow keys as C-p, C-n, C-b and C-f.
I don't find much help in "man ksh"
Thank you if you have any idea.
Anne
