Some of the named peoples suggested me to use tcsh, someone suggested to use
ksh in the following way:
>ksh
>set -o emacs
>export TERM=ansi or export TERM=vt100
I also had to notice that emacs is not installed by default on SUN (remarque
from Sakellaris). So I did the emacs installation too.
Some other suggested me to use csh with the following setup:
>csh
>set editmode=emacs
>set history=100
This is working perfectly on Tru64! Unfortunatly it is not working on SUN.
The only thing I did reach was using the Korn shell setup, and then <ctrl-p>
to recall previous command, <ctrl-n> for next, and so on. But arrow keys are
not working as expected. Even in vi there is some troubles with arrows. This
is by the way with cde windows or with reflection exactly the same.
It seems that the problem is with the keybord setup (I use lk411-al). If
someone has a good tip to fix this, it would be nice, otherwise I can leave
with the control keys at the moment.
I didn't tried tcsh, this could also be an option, which I have to consider
later.
Original posting:
Since few days I have to manage a SUN system. The problem is that I have a
Compaq (DEC) Workstation with CDE, and the terminal settings don't allow me
to use arrows to recall commands (with csh) and the terminal emulation
gives some troubles when editing with vi.
I tried to copy a file called dec.ti and compile on SUN. It is a bit better
with vi, but recall commands is not working.
Has someone already manage to fix this problem? I would appreciate any
