A scrollable history is not a feature of csh. Install the tcsh port, then ^P and ^N will let you roll thru your history buffer. Plus Emacs-like commands are available for editing the command line. Summary of how to install tcsh: % su # cd /usr/ports/shells/tcsh # make install && make clean # exit % rehash # gotta do this for csh to find it # after a fresh install. % tcsh # play with it and see if you like it % chsh -s tcsh roger # make it your selection on next login -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
