If anyone is using ksh as their shell and gets .sh_history to be used, please let me know how. I set the HISTFILE environment variable in my .profile. Something like typeset -x HISTFILE=~/.sh_history I even tried creating the file with touch, to see if that would "prime" it. It's a no go for me. Also, when using vi as the editor, can you use the arrow keys to backtrack through history? I have to use "k", as in vi, which is ok, but on Solaris at work, I can use either one and I use whatever my fingers reach first. The translation is handled by PC-Xware, so that is obviously "cheating" . To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
