I have a 4.8 installation with a root account and one user account. The root account up-arrow history retrieve feature works fine, while on my user account it doesn't, displaying instead $ ^[[A^[[C^[[B^[[D when I press the arrow keys in order (up, right, down, left) What is missing to have the shell interpret these keys? I notice that when on the user acct entering the Mysql cmd shell retrieve does work buy not on the 'main' shell. Here are the dir contents for each account: mrwilhelm# ls -al /root total 24 drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 512 Jul 9 04:04 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 512 May 7 16:00 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 512 Jul 9 04:12 .cpan -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 802 Apr 3 2003 .cshrc -rw------- 1 root wheel 2573 Jul 9 04:50 .history -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 142 Apr 3 2003 .klogin -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 297 Apr 3 2003 .login -rw------- 1 root wheel 42 May 12 16:12 .mysql_history -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 251 Apr 3 2003 .profile drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 May 11 09:13 .ssh drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 May 26 17:08 scripts mrwilhelm# ls -al /home/marty total 24 drwxr-xr-x 3 marty users 512 Jul 8 21:13 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 May 12 13:28 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 marty users 771 May 7 16:00 .cshrc -rw-r--r-- 1 marty users 0 May 11 09:28 .history -rw-r--r-- 1 marty users 255 May 7 16:00 .login -rw-r--r-- 1 marty users 165 May 7 16:00 .login_conf -rw------- 1 marty users 371 May 7 16:00 .mail_aliases -rw-r--r-- 1 marty users 331 May 7 16:00 .mailrc -rw------- 1 marty users 811 Jul 8 21:13 .mysql_history -rw-r--r-- 1 marty users 801 May 7 16:00 .profile -rw------- 1 marty users 276 May 7 16:00 .rhosts -rw-r--r-- 1 marty users 852 May 7 16:00 .shrc drwx------ 2 marty users 512 May 9 08:56 .ssh mrwilhelm# Marty -- Web Installed Formmail - http://face2interface.com/formINSTal/ Webmaster's BBS - http://bbs.face2interface.com/
