Subject: Csh problem in history expansion
Index: bin/csh 4.2BSD (4.3BSD?)
Description:
When doing history expansion on a builtin command
csh will echo the command line.
Repeat-By:
% while (1)
? echo "hi"
? end
^C
% !w
? echo "ho"
? end
^C
Notice that the first will echo lines of 'hi' to the terminal
while the second echos lines of
while ( 1 )
ho
to the terminal.
