How do I get ksh in the "*shell*" buffer to remember commands in the $HISTFILE ? I've seen it done on a VAX, but it doesn't happen on this IBM mainframe, both Sys V.2. In my .emacs_ksh file I even have: "print -s bla #supposed to be the way to get ksh to start writing to $HISTFILE" but all I get is the one line "bla". I also have "HISTFILE=$HOME/.sh_history HISTSIZE=4000" in .profile, both exported. Versions: Ksh 11/16/88b, set -o stuff: "Current option settings: allexport off, bgnice off, emacs on, errexit off, gmacs off, ignoreeof off, interactive on, keyword off, markdirs off, monitor on, noexec off, noclobber on, noglob off, nolog off, nounset off, privileged off, restricted off, trackall off, verbose off, vi off, viraw off, xtrace off". "GNU Emacs 18.55.11 of Fri Dec 1 1989 on ihlpa (usg-unix-v)". Hmmm.. is BASH compilable on Sys V Amdahl/IBM mainframe yet? (Last time I tried, the makefile left me feeling "left out".) -- Dan Jacobson +1-708-979-6364 danj1@ihlpa.ATT.COM
