Hi Group,

In C shell, Is there any way I can map Up & Down arrow keys to walk
through the entire last command history list ?

Something similar what Bash shell does by default.

Thanks in advance for any .

In plain csh, no.

Use tcsh instead.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

Not in csh, but in tcsh. Fortunately on many systems csh is an alias
for tcsh.

thanks guys !!!
ya tcsh gave me back my arrow key shortcuts.

I haven't played much with "tcsh" before. All the valid "csh" statments
& syntax should be valid with tcsh as well right ?

and does tcsh allow mapping of customized keystrokes with commands ?

thanx again in advance.
