shell problems

Hi,
I have a just installed system with HPUX 11.11 and some common keys are not working, I suppose is a shell related issue, but I'm not able to find what to do. For instance: the esc+K is not working for navigate throw the history, the ctrl+C doesn´t breaks the line, etc etc. I have compared /etc/profile and ~/.profile from another machines that are working and I find no difference.
Also I've checked the shell using in /etc/passwd and in all the cases it is /bin/sh.
Any idea, please?

esc K doesn't work unless you have "set -o vi".
Also it won't work by default if you are root.

Control C may not work if stty isn't set. What does "stty -a" show for intr?

Really no differences in all the related files?

Do "env" and compare. Do you have variables like EDITOR set?

Hi all,
There were differences between the sh and .profile files... I'm sorry.
I've copied it from one server to the other and now it works fine!!
Thanks!!
