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.

Would you like '@somescript.sql' to work while embedded in SQL?

I have used that many times, and still do occasionally.

Once brought to Jeff's attention, it wasn't long before sqlcl could do that as well.

    This question is primarily for Jeff Smith, the product manager.
