    Hi.

    When I was doing administration on FreeBSD, I used csh as my default
    shell, when I mistake a command, I pressed up arrow key and the typed
    command showed up and I edited it. Now, on Solaris sparc 9, I use the
    same shell but when I press the up arrow key, this appers:

    nietzsche% prtconfig | grep cpuu
    prtconfig: Command not found
    nietzsche% ^[[A
    ^[[A: No match
    nietzsche%

    I wonder how can I edit the mistyped command and correct it. In general,
    I am facing problems while doing simple tasks on command line. I am
    using a Sun type 6 usb unix keyboard and default us keymap. I would like
    to know hints and tips for command line editing but the ones I used on
    freebsd are not applicable.

    Thanks in advance.
