Gents,
For posterity, I just want to put the final solution here into the
'googlebase'.
I had to do the following;
1. I had to edit a .kshrc file in each users home directory with the
following lines:
set -o emacs
alias __A= # uparrow = ctrl-P = previous command
alias __B= # downarrow = ctrl-N = next command
alias __C= # rightarrow = ctrl-F = forward char
alias __D= # leftarrow = ctrl-B = back char
alias __P= # Set delete key as ctrl-d
2. I had to edit the .dtprofile file in each users home directory to
uncomment the following line:
DTSOURCEPROFILE=true
3. I had to edit the .profile file in each users home dircectory, and add
the followin line;
ENV=$HOME/.kshrc; export ENV
...And then it worked. I get the command history browsing from the arrow
keys, and command completion via the escape key.
Thanks to all for the help.
Cheers...
Jeff
