However, in my case I get 22% as the starting number; from there on it starts incrementing. There may be a silly reason which I am unable to see. Any insight ? FYI, I do have a .login with different kinds of options for the terminal setups, Baud rates and login shells at the time of my signing on to the system (I guess that shouldn't interfere with my history machanism). Which definitions other than the standard "set history = nn" conflict in this case? Thanks in advance
