Was this a very recent change?  I'm still using CVS from last week and
have an Edit menu.  Please put it back - there are plenty of things in
the Edit menu that are useful in the shell - cut/copy/paste/undo (not
all platforms support mouse copy/pasting!)  and finding text among
them.  I often use Find in the shell window to search through output.
