I am a ksh user. In ksh I can press the escape key and select a previous command line to edit and execute using the +, - and v keys. I now have to access a system that only has bash and this procedure doesn't work in bash. Can someone familiar with the bash version of command line editing help me out here? My FCEDIT environmental variable is defined as vi if that makes any odds.
