For bash, it's already the default, so I don't understand why you claim it doesn't work there. > Strange enough if I start a csh it works but not with the other shells. It doesn't. Just try to backspace back over the line break. csh doesn't support any command line editing at all, beyond what the termios(4) tty discipline offers in canonical mode. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
