As I understand it BASH stands for Bourne Shell. Bash allows you to
repeat commands that have been entered previously. Back in the day
while using Unix we used Bourne shell also, and could set up our
shell profile and export variables like EDIT, EDITOR and one I can't
seem to draw out of the memory bank here, that would allow one to use
those editor commands to search the history file for that command.
Can that be set up in my profile and use for instance vi commands to
go back in my .history file for a shell command?
