Hi Frank, for this to work your terminal has to send the sequence <ESC>[A, ..., <ESC>[D for the 4 cursor (arrow) keys (ANSI codes). Check your xterm setup to see how to enable this. The <TAB> completion has not yet been implemented. > > Hi > > I have probles with the command line editing in root > ( v1.03/08 on Digital Unix 3.2) : > > In an xterm window the arrow keys do not correspond > to ^p ^n ^b and ^f and the tab key does not > give command line completion. > > The manual says that on DOS and ANSI terminals the arrow keys > should act as the corresponding emacs key bindings.
