 repeating commands Hi, I have HP-UX system. I am not able to get previous run command using upper arrow key. My default TERM is ansi. Event after exporting TERM to vt100 its not working. So we have retype the command everytime. Also tab completion is not working. How to resolve this problem. regards, Shashank      |

Probably the shell that you are using doesn't support command history and/or filename completion. Try typing "echo $SHELL" and post the output here. Alex. |

Basically set -o vi is setting a shell option to use vi as the command line editor.
