Doskey in SOlaris

what line must I enter in my .profile file to repeat the same command by hitting the up arrow? Is it the .profile and not .login?

ksh -o vi
or
set -o vi

You can then use <esc> then k to go back through your commands.

Or, I can use the bourne shell I believe right? I know squat about VI, I find it incredibly ridiculous to use. I am reading a Solaris book, and Vi is the next chapter. Maybe I will have a different outlook then.

In bourne shell use ksh -o vi, you will only be using korn shell for this one adtion..

You don't have to know vi to use these commands, although if you do know vi you can get more out of them. If you want to edit a previous command before reissuing it, then you will need vi. But to simply repeat previous commands <esc> then k to get your last command, keep pressing k to go back through the commands, j if you go too far and need to come forward, and return to run the displayed command.
