Does the command history and backspace properly work for a local xterm? I ask that because PuTTY (which I use regularly) emulates an xterm, not a straight tty. If a local xterm works but PuTTY doesn't, check your emulator settings in PuTTY itself, to see what it's trying to send with backspace. I have used PuTTY to access psql with backspace and history working properly on my RedHat PostgreSQL box a number of times. However, there was a problem with the version of readline used at one point in time -- you might be running up against this buglet. -- Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio 1 Peter 4:11 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
