Hi all,

I was just curious to know if there is any way of retrieving the previous
commands one by one by pressing any single key on the key board, in C shell?
i.e., without using the history and !n command.

Thanks,
Sheshagiri.

No, csh doesn't have an interactive history mechanism. Switch to tcsh to
get that.

Try adding the following to your ~/.cshrc file:

set history = 100
set savehist = 100
set cmdedit
set editmode=emacs

I can't find either of those variables in the csh(1) documentation on
Solaris 2.6, and they're also not in our tcsh 6.05.02 documentation. What
flavor of Unix has them?
