Hello,
When I use my linux system @ home, I can hit the 'up' arrow to get the previous command line . But at work,I hit 'up', I dont get the previous command, just some jibberish. Is there a way to set it up in my .profile or something to allow command line history?
well there you go. in the grand scheme of UNIX implementations, Linux is a potential cop out... bash is often thought of as a bloated bit of kit by longterm users of AIX or HPUX... that being said, i'm sure you could still install it.

installing bash isn't an option, unfortunately. Is there a way around this?
like bash? sh isn't bash... we know how to run other shells, there just aren't others available that perform what they want, and they are already using ksh...
i just looked at what else i had, and csh does history too...
