Re: TAB character in DCL command-line editing

The problem is this: Inserting a TAB anywhere on the DCL
command line prevents inserting characters using Control-A.
DELETE still works, but no characters can be inserted on
my DCL command lines here as long as there is a tab character
present.

Can anyone else reproduce this?

I see your problem, but only if I try to insert something before the TAB.
