It does now. BTW. I login as normal user and "su" to root for adminstrative tasks. I checked what shell root was using and it was sh (/bin/sh). So the information on my first post was inaccurate. My bad. I thought the shell was csh. So, I changed root's shell to csh. The problem of no .history via up and down arrows went away. The arrow keys now access the .history file. Strange. Did I possibly do something to screw up the sh shell?
