I am about to get myself ported from a Sun to an HP workstation, and I'm going to miss tcsh 5.18 with its command-line editing features. Is tcsh or anything similar available under HP-UX? Not necessarily public-domain, but obviously that's preferable. -- Mark James <mark@bdblues.altair.fr> or <mark@nuri.inria.fr>

I think this can be fixed by the user. I set up one history file per tty, so different windows have separate histories. If I do a shell escape from some program, I have the history of that window. Here are the necessary lines from my .kshrc: HISTDIR=/tmp/${LOGNAME:-$USER} if [ ! -d $HISTDIR ] ; then /bin/mkdir $HISTDIR; fi HISTFILE=$HISTDIR/`basename \`tty\``.khist export HISTFILE Bob
