I need to get my <Esc> <k> working so I can go through my history commands.
Is there something in my environment or somewhere I need to change to get this to work??
 
I assume you're using ksh?

Put set -o vi in your .profile so that it's picked up when you login. HTH.
 
I want to put it in my csh and also How would I change my shell to be ksh everytime I log on??
 
To change your shell use usermod -s /bin/ksh username

Greg.
 
You may also need to add

Code:
export EDITOR=vi

in your .profile or .kshrc file. HTH.
