First of all, shouldn't you be posting this in freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org? This question has absolutely nothing to FreeBSD networking. Secondly, you want to use your shell's history editing. If you want the up-arrow/down-arrow business, do this: cd /usr/ports/shells/bash make install as this shell by default has that functionality. Another shell, pdksh, under /usr/ports/shells/pdksh, can do this optionally with the ``set -o gmacs'' command. -- |Chris Costello |Your e-mail has been returned due to insufficient voltage. `---------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
