Description davidx 2001-04-09 04:00:09 UTC 
when root user run csh as his shell, input some chars on command line and then pressing up and down arrow key has no effect, you can not scroll to history command.

Fix: 

don't know.
How-To-Repeat: set csh as root user's default shell, login as root, press enter, you have a blank command line, then input a char, then press up arrow key, you can not scroll to history command, it generates a bell.

This is expected behavior; it's trying to search through the history
list for a command beginning with whatever you started typing.  See
rev. 1.28 of src/etc/root/dot.cshrc and tcsh(1) (search for
"history-search-backward").
