how to configure .login and .cshrc?

[zibiaozhang]

How can I configure .login and .cshrc file so I can
use backspace key to move back the cursor and use
up and down arrow to get the command history? It would
be very helpful if you could give me a copy of yours.

Hi,
Typically you would add a line to the .login file if you're using the c shell that says:

stty erase ^H

To interrupt or break out of a routine you can add a line such as:

intr ^Z

And you can put those together on one line such as:

stty erase ^H intr ^Z

Thank you very much it works for ^H.

But how can I configure the up and down arrow key to
extract the command is history?

Check out this link which might be of help, plus you could probably do a man on sh which is pretty helpful. I don't run c shell very much so I'm vaguely familiar with it..
