The original `csh' is no longer a part of the base installation. `csh' is now a link (ln) to `tcsh' which is the functionality you're seeing. If you like/need/want `csh', it's now a Port. Use `chsh' to change your login shell from `/bin/sh' to `/bin/tcsh' if you want the scrolling history list. For users, you may also consider installing `bash'. Re-login to see your changes. =2Ecr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
