You could give tcsh a try. It is in the ports collection. After you installed the port you can use the command chsh to change your login shell. : Also looking for a good text editor. That is one that : is tight, fast, small, non-bloated, inserts a line when : ya hit enter, deletes the previous character when ya : hit back space, goes to the next screen when ya hit page : down.....in other words a editor that works like the : millions of them that I used in MS-DOG/Windoze. Uuuaahha.... :-) But if you still need this I guess that pico is the right one for you. It is bundled with pine, a mail frontend. It's also in the ports collection.
