i am used to press the escape button to automatically fill up the missing words of a file name in an HPUX. how come i cannot do the same thing for Sun? do i have to set anything to activate this? if so is it possible to automatically go to this mode when a user logs in?
how about history? how come i can do this in HPUX and not in Sun? is there anyway to change that?
This is a shell issue, but my guess is that you're using csh. With sun's csh, you need to use the command:
set filec
to turn this feature on. You may want to add that line to your .cshrc file.
Which shell were you using on the HP, It had to be csh or tcsh I would think...
To get history working you need a command like
set history=100
which would give you 100 lines of history. These set commands should probably be put in your .cshrc file so that they happen automatically with every csh that you run.
If you want your history to be preserved in a .history file when your csh exits and then reread when you fire up a new csh, you will also need:
set savehist=100
or whatever.
Just on this points...a useful command to see if a command is set within your profile (i.e. within your PATH)..is 'which'
So you could just type 'which bash'.... to see if your profile already set up with the bash shell. Would save the effort of downloading it if it is already set up.

For example,
