bash command line history/editing
I feel like an idiot.
I'm trying to get the good ol', command line editing and history going
on. So I can use vi commands to move back and forth in my command
history from the command line, and use vi commands to edit the command
line, etc. you know what I"m talking about.
I'm running RH6.2. Now, I actually got it to work one day, for about 10
seconds, and then it stopped working. I don't remember what I did, it
was a couple months ago and I got frustrated and said{*filter*}it.
So anyway, I'm trying to get it working again, I can't live without it,
and so I've put the following in my .bash_profile :
export EDITOR=vi
export VISUAL=vi
set -o vi
and of course source the file again, and it still doesn't !@#$ work.
What the hell am I doing wrong?

Leonard Peltier was jailed in 1976 for the {*filter*} of two FBI officers
that even the prosecution admitted there is no evidence that he
committed. But in order to deter the growing call for Native American
rights and autonomy, in the form of the American Indian Movement,
Peltier was made an example of. It's the year 2000, why is this man
still in prison?
