There's going to be a variety of ways of doing this. Supposing you're already running Korn shell I would say:
and then Ctrl+P will bring back the last command. Or you can say:
and then Esc K will bring back the last command (that's press Esc, release Esc, press K, release K).
If you're not running Korn shell I recommend
| Code: |
| exec /usr/bin/ksh -o emacs |
or
| Code: |
| exec /usr/bin/ksh -o vi |
and then, respectively, one can use Ctrl+P or Esc K to get the last command.
Might I suggest a quick trawl of the web for a subject like this - you should easily find everything you need much quicker than posting and waiting for answers here.
Kind regards |

# ksh
# set -o vi
# stty erase ^?
Then you can us Esc-k to move backward in you .sh_history. The j key will move you forward and you can use normal vi commands to edit the line.

But, unfortunatly, there doesn't appear to be any way of recalling commands once you're running runmqsc. Hello, IBM.  Can you please (pleading) do something about this.
And I don't need the suggestions of piping the commands into runmqsc each time. I want to navigate around once I'm in there, not launch it every time.
Cheers,

Where do you want to navigate to or from once you are in mqsc? It's not like you have a directory structure... 
Yeah, I've always wondered about that but have surrendered to using
| Code: |
| echo "dis ql(*)" | runmqsc |
in Unix or
| Code: |
| echo dis ql(*) | runmqsc |
in DOS.
In Unix I have found vi command line editing to be a very useful tool for much more than command recall. Throwing in greps etc. for example
| Code: |
| echo "dis chs(*)" | runmqsc | grep RUNNING | wc -l |
will show you many Channels you have in a RUNNING status or
| Code: |
| echo "dis chs(APPCHL.NAME)" | runmqsc | grep CONNAME > appchl.out |
will create a file that I can use to figure out how many channels call APPCHL.NAME are active and from what hosts they are connected from.

| With V6 you don't have to use as many greps as you have to with earlier versions |

I downloaded the v6 Beta release and installed it on my personal laptop and played around with it a little but I don't have a Unix Lab Server to play with at work.
Once we've finished upgrading to AIX5.2 and Window2003 Server I'm planning to upgrade all my Servers at work.
