newbie hp-ux question

[sandy test]

Just started using a hp-ux11-23.
In csh, can someone please show me how to
setup .login to let an up arrow show the last
command?

I am using a terminal emulation program on a pc to access the machine. My backspace key doesn't do anything. I would like to setup the keyboard so that a key will backspace + erase, and another key will just backspace with insert mode.

Thanks for any help
Sandy

You can set the backspace key for backspace+erase.

$ stty erase

Check by running stty command in alone. erase must be set to "^H" or "backspace".

Add the line given by Amit in your .profile

Then this will work whenever you will login.

Hi,

your needs cannot be completly done in csh - use 'tcsh' (Tenex C-shell) instead, which is a compatible superset of the csh.
You can download a depot of tcsh at the HP porting centre.
Using 'bindkey -v' enables vi-style and cursor navigation as well (including 'arrow up' to get the last command you supplied).

The other (stty-)stuff: see previous answers.
