Hi.
I have 6 Macs, of which one is running the latest version of Leopard and
the rest are running 10.4.11 with all the latest updates.
On all but one system I can access the X11 command history with the up
and down arrow keys. I would love to get this working on the one machine.
The problem computer is a 12 inch PowerBook G4. Command history works in
Terminal, but not X11. But it wasn't working in Terminal either until
recently when I found some hints on the web, there wasn't even a
'.bash_history' file.
Any ideas on how I can make X11 do this? The computer is over six years
old, but has had a couple of replacement hard drives so I cannot say for
sure what software has been on it. It had 10.2 as new, and I probably
installed XDarwin as well as older X11s.
I have tried with an external keyboard, but that makes no difference.
Thanks,
Phil.
