I think there are several ways to change command line editing behavior in bash. One is to edit ~/.inputrc: set editing-mode emacs If someone changed this to vi, change it back to emacs or delete it. I think ksh uses $EDITOR or $VISUAL to control command line editing behavior. If these pointers didn't help, try "man bash" (or whatever your shell is) to find other ways of changing the behavior. -- Lee Bradshaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) Alantro Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED]
