I've never worked on PowerHouse in a UNIX environment up until 8 weeks ago.  
Being used to PowerHouse in an OpenVMS environment I've seen some behavior 
differences in the HP-UX environment inside each component at the prompt.   
 
First...I've noticed that sometimes when I type the text appears before the 
prompt character. 
 
Example: 
 
Q D E S I G N   (7.33.D3) 
Copyright 1997 COGNOS INCORPORATED 
 
  
s> creen t 
> exi 
 
Secondly...I've noticed is my inability to recall the last command.  When I 
hit <CURSOR UP> that is exactly what it does.  The cursor starts moving up
the 
screen.  Is there another way to recall the last command?  Sometimes when
your 
analysis data in QUIZ it comes in handy.  I now find myself having to grab
the 
prior text in my terminal emulator and paste it on to the current line.  
Sometimes you want to change your criteria around and it was nice in the 
OpenVMS environment just to hit <CURSOR UP>, delete a couple of characters
and 
type something else in and you have your new criteria.  Hit GO and there is 
the other data you want.   
 
Lastly...the help seems to be unavailable. 
 
> help 
Unable to create the help subprocess, COGHELP. On-line help is not
available. 
 
Why is the help unavailable?  Does anyone know?
