HP-UX PH 7.33.D3 Behaviour?

[Ray Bailey]

This isn't a powerhouse specific problem It's general UNIX.

1. Systems will show the commands you type as you type them. They don't wait
for the prompt as VMS does.

2. I've not found any way of recalling a command in Powerhouse but if you
are using KSHell you can use <esc>k to recall commands at the system prompt.

3. Never tried (until now) to use Help - I get the same message. I've always
used the question mark to get further help or RTFM.
   eg . > set rep ?
          Expected:  DEVICE  COPIES  NAME  LIMIT  etc etc


Good Luck - From someone how uses UNIX and VMS ... I know which one I
prefer.
