I use this strategy with bash, so YMMV: $ vim .bash_history (kill line) $ kill -9 $$ $$ should expand to the pid of the running shell; if it doesn't in tcsh, sub it out yourself. The kill -9 prevents the shell from doing it's normal exit stuff (like writing out the history) and just kills the process. You'll need to kill -9 any shell that you launched while the "bad" line was in the history file. -- Chris Cowart Network Technical Lead Network & Infrastructure Services, RSSP-IT UC Berkeley
