I am running a 386-40, 8mb, FreeBSD 2.1.0 RELEASE

I am looking for some recommendations for a shell
that has a built in command line editor or a package
that I can add into an existing 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.
