I remember reading about something like that, though
it's not connected
in my mind with A/UX. What I do remember is that you had to type "Ls"
to pop up the options window: After all, most of the time you don't
*want* options for "ls". On a text terminal, the top half of the
screen became the options window; its scrolling content was restored
when the window was dismissed.
I'm glad that it was sort of optional, otherwise it would annoy the hell
out of me.
SMIT was quite nice although; although it was a GUI (which I loathe), at
least it displayed the command that was run as a result (which was just as
well!) so you could type it yourself if you liked.
