I normally use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to access the command history. However, this morning instead being able to go through the .history file with the arrow keys (the arrow keys that are not part of the numeric keypad), I get a "^[[A" when using the up arrow key and a "^[[B" when using the down arrow key. I've tried to clear the .history file but I still get it. I've also tired to google through about 50 doc's and tutorials and through the freebsd-questions archive but... no joy. Any hints or questions would be appreciated. Thank you. Michael Chinn
