I am still coming up short here. I have consulted the online man pdksh and google but I can't solve the problem of having a command line history and navigating the command line.
In my /etc/profile I have: <snip> export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vi export ENV=/etc/ksh.kshrc export HISTFILE=$HOME/.sh_history export HISTSIZE=128 </snip> In my customized /etc/ksh.kshrc (not the default Openbsd ksh.kshrc) I have: <snip> set -a set -o vi </snip> <snip> bind '^[['=prefix-2 bind '^XA'=up-history bind '^XB'=down-history bind '^XC'=forward-char bind '^XD'=backward-char bind '^A'=beginning-of-line bind '^E'=end-of-line </snip> $ echo $TERM vt220 I am not sure what I am doing wrong to not have a command line history. How can I test the bind pdksh keys? # bind only gives you what available keys are available, not confirmation that they, in fact, are working...
