Hi all I seem to be having problem setting options in bash. basically I want bash to behave like ksh with vi as a line editor I am using following command: $ set -o vi to set the vi as an editor. I have tried to put this in the .bashrc file but I do not get the result as with the command executed from the prompt. Is there a way to automate the process of setting the command editing without me typing it every time I log in??
