Checked, yes it is.

I'm trying bleading edge (that is 5.7.2 +)

Major annoyance for bash is the fact that I cannot resize the window to fit
more lines, and no scrollbar, so I can't scroll back the errors that fly by

I've learned to set it a bit to what I'm used to like, but it doesn't meet the
standards of comfort I get with the tcsh.

bash also seems to be programmed towards emacs and incapable of mapping the
arrows in vi mode to do "previous-history" and such.

things I've tried:

.bashrc:
	bind "\e[A" previous-history

.inputrc:
	"\e[A":     previous-history
