[repeat last command by press up arrow key in true64]
If you use BourneAgain Shell (bash) or Z Shell (zsh), you'll have it
out
of the box
==================
in ksh check shell first
$ env | grep -i shell or
# env | grep -i shell
If you don't then use;
# chsh -s `which ksh` <username>
export TERM=vt320
Check your .profile and the global /etc/profile to see if the upkeys
are
Disabled======================
then put this in .profile "set -o emacs" "set -o gmacs"
set -o emacs # Enable emacs style editing, like bash
# Cursor up for previous command
set -o vi # Enable vi style command editing
# ESC and then "k" for previous command
Not all shells offer you the up arrow capability. Bash (the default
Linux
shell), tcsh, and perhaps ksh off this feature. Take a look at
/etc/shells
to see which shells are offered on your system.
-===============
exec ksh -o emacs
you would need to use the 'bash' shell for that. Default for tru64 is
probably csh or sh.
You can download bash from http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/bash.html
or
it might come on some TRU64 open source CDs.
install tcsh from your open source software collection CD. Then type
/bin/tcsh or /usr/local/bin/tcsh and all works.
==================================
get bash: compile, install and add to /etc/shells
The final conculusion is that wyse50 term emulation cannot work that it
has to be vt320/420. So, that stick with wyse50 or continue search for
answer. We can use alias switch term but very trouble.
