Hi.

I cannot easily get to the aix system from a putty client. However, we might be able to whittle down the number of possible issues. Please post the results of these commands from the prompt (the dollar is the prompt for me). After the command are listed the responses I get:
Code:
$ ps | grep $$
 33228  pts/5  0:00 grep 42706 
 42706  pts/5  0:00 -bash

Code:
$ uname -a
AIX aix 1 5 000641284C00

Code:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (powerpc-ibm-aix5.1)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Code:
$ echo $TERM
xterm

Code:
(enter the up arrow followed by the down arrow)
$ ^[[A^[[B

cheers, drl
