Re: sqlcl and sqlplus (Jeff Smith)

Yes, I have the same experience with Jeff. I brought to his attention a bug with tnsping and it was fixed in the next release.  I would suggest to have SQL init file for SQLcl  named something like $HOME/.sqlcl.sql or set up by an environment variable.

Also, it would be about time to switch from "afiedt.buf" ("AFI" comes from "A Friendly Interface", a predecessor of SQL*Plus) to ufiedt.buf. UFI or "User Friendly Interface" came after AFI. SQLcl would be the right time to catch up with the times:

This is humour for those among us who can remember attempting to set oraterm to work with 4800 bps modems, probably Jonathan, Mark, Jared and few others.
