I've been using Mac's since they started using BSD as the foundation
for OS X. The bash shell (default) has the up-down arrow commands
for history. Mac is ideal for old Unix guys who grew up using the
Unix command line and can switch between bash, korn, bourne and c
shells. Personally, I like the korn shell best but bash is a close
equivalent. My suggestion is to get a good book on Unix or Mac OS X
and go through all of the command line stuff that the Unix SysAdmin
guys use. Have fun. It's the same struggle that Unix guys have when
they get their first Windows machine. :-)

I have just installed Jess on my fancy new macbook (OSX_4). I find

using the command line is very limiting compared to the WinXP command
line. There is no up/down arrow history, in particular. Does anyone
know
how I can get this functionality at the terminal, short of installing
Windows as well?
