Re: JESS: command line behaviour on OSX
FWIW, I find an Emacs shell a wonderful, feature-rich way to interact with a command line to Jess (or CLIPS). Once in the command line this is essentially independent of the platform OS. But familiarity with Emacs would be required for this to be a good solution. - Mike On Nov 15, 2006, at 7:23 PM, Robert Kildare wrote: I have just installed Jess on my fancy new macbook (OSX_4).

Re: JESS: command line behaviour on OSX
I've been using Mac's since they started using BSD as the foundation for OS X. The bash shell (default) has the up-down arrow commands for history. Mac is ideal for old Unix guys who grew up using the Unix command line and can switch between bash, korn, bourne and c shells. Personally, I like the korn shell best but bash is a close equivalent. My suggestion is to get a good book on Unix or Mac OS X and go through all of the command line stuff that the Unix SysAdmin guys use. Have fun. It's the same struggle that Unix guys have when they get their first Windows machine. :-) SDG jco "Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.
