Are you sure your shell was csh/tcsh? Which account were ou logged in under? Were you SUed to root? It sounds like you are using an account with /bin/sh as a shell or some other one that doesn't know about the tcsh history editing. For example, unless you change it, root uses sh for a shell. ////jerry > > Michael Chinn > _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
