vi commands on Prompt

[panchpan]

Hello.
In HP-UX, I am able to use Esc k(for previous command) and then all other vi commands on the prompt itself.
Do you know, what is the replacement for Esc k and such features in AIX?

Thank you!

It's the same - or at least it was when I last used aix, four years ago.

IMHO this is not a question about the OS but about the used shell.

For example on bash (avail. for almost all OS) you can use the arrow keys.

Hello
If you have in aix "vi" editor you can always do "set -o vi" to get similar compatibility like in hp-ux. In linux it works.

Thanks
