Thanks to everyone for the advice. Installing Rocket's bash provided the cursor history scrolling I was looking for.
I don't perceive a difference between TERM=xterm+256color and TERM=xterm in the command-line-only functions I use. (I don't see any coloring in the ls or other output for either value.) I have "bash" as the last line in /etc/profile. This seems to work, but I do have to enter "exit" twice to close the window. Is there a way to invoke bash so that this is not necessary? I'm also not sure if this matters, but "echo $SHELL" still shows "/bin/sh", not "/bin/bash". - Wendell ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
