Greetings, I just downloaded and read one person's opinion of the C shell. I understand that a question like this can lead to a potential war as there's probably a great deal of 'personal opinion' surrounding the responses, but I'm wondering...what's the "BEST" shell to use for a person new to UNIX. (by new I'm implying that I'm unaccustomed to any particular shell and will be learning whatever shell from the ground up) I've been using tcsh up until now as I like one of its features... namely the 'up arrow' recalling the previously typed commands. I also chose tcsh thinking that my knowledge of C would possibly be of some benefit. However, now that I'm beginning the journey of learning scripting, and based on what I just read, I'm wondering if there's not a better choice??? Opinions? Thanks Randy
