Input-line Editing

When you reply to prompts from either an ADAM program or ICL, previous input can be recalled and edited - automatic filename completion is also possible in much the same way as it would be on the shell command line. At prompts for ADAM program parameters, you can also paste the suggested value into the input buffer and edit it. The maximum length of an input line is 256 characters - the terminal will beep if you attempt to input more.

Line recall and editing for ADAM uses virtually the same keys as tcsh with the emacs key bindings.
