You don't, you use tcsh instead. However, if you are going to use tcsh, you might as well use bash. What you really should do is not use root except when you have to. csh does have a history mechanism, '!!' is the previous command, '!-2' second to last, '!23' is the 23rd since the shell was spawned, '!ls' is the last one to start with the string 'ls,' etc. etc., plus you can do editing. See 'man csh.' -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
