AW: bash history not avail from arrow keys

["erskine, michael" <michael.erskine@SERuk.com>]

Hi Frank,

(wow - quick reply!)

Yes, I have HOME set from within AUTOEXEC.BAT and when I do 'cd' 
it goes there and I can see my .bash-history. The 'history' command 
works as expected. 



Hi,

do you set HOME before starting the bash?


Here is the way I use it:
startbash.bat

@ECHO OFF
set HOME=/home/%USERNAME%

c:\usr\local\bin\bash.exe -login


Greetings
   Frank

Betreff: bash history not avail from arrow keys

Hello list,

Under cygwin's bash shell, the command history isn't available using the
arrow keys. I'm sure this worked when I put cygwin on another machine some
time ago. I have HOME and /tmp set but otherwise I haven't changed anything
"out of the box". 

Any pointers?

Peace to you all.
