Aloha Poly,

I'm glad to have somebody confirm this. I thought it was funny that this 
was happening.

I have earlier CURRENT 8 running on a couple of machines and they never 
acted this way.

This is root that is doing this on my test box.
  set history = 100
  set savehistory = 100
are in the .cshrc file.

I'll look in /etc/csh.cshrc

Thanks...
