Also, someone mentioned the korn shell autocompletion tip "\" + "=" and that lists the matches to the given pattern in a numbered list. Can you recall the match by the given number?

/# ls /bin/perl
1) perl
2) perlbug
3) perlcc
4) perldoc
5) perlivp
/# ls /bin/perl

I hate the hijacking of a printing character (!). When I press !, I expect to see an exclamation mark. Therefore I always set histchars to an empty string to disable that annoying misfeature.

Bash has excellent functions for history search: history-search-backward, history-search-forward, reverse-search-history. I have them bound to UP, DOWN, and ^R respectively.

I honestly never tried anything else than ksh ... does the job and is the native choice for AIX as far as I know

Kind regards

I love sh, but bash is better in my opinion!
