Ok, s/libedit/ksh lined editing/.

Re bash - I'm mentioning it as an example of a different line-editing
style (readline) for reference.  In case I was not clear, let me
reapeat:

I don't understand what kind of behavior the above is supposed to
describe.  Ksh man page doesn't mention wrapping, only scrolling

       In these editing modes, if a line is longer that the screen
       width (see COLUMNS parameter), a >, + or < character is
       displayed in the last col- umn indicating that there are more
       characters after, before and after, or before the current
       position, respectively.  The line is scrolled horizontally as
       necessary.

I normally use bash with "set horizontal-scroll-mode on" in .inputrc.

I tried ksh and the scrolling behaviour i see with it is very similar
to what I'm used to with bash except that it seems to scroll more
agressively.
