Command History & Keyboard Setup

[Lee]

Hi Mark,

Thanks absolutly right.  The root account is set to /bin/csh and the normal
user was using /bin/sh.

What I have done now is set the default shell for the system, root & normal
user to bash, but now I am still left with the problem of the £ sign not
working from the console or in vi.  When typing in "ee" the pound sign works
fine.

Any suggestions.

Lee
