HP-UX PH 7.33.D3 Behavior?

[Deskin, Bob]

When you type ahead, sometimes text appears before the prompt. That's UNIX.
Don't worry, it's happy.

I don't think there's a recall like on OpenVMS, again that's UNIX. UNIX
experts may know of something.

There is no online Help in PowerHouse UNIX, so the HELP statement doesn't do
anything.
