Hello all,

I was just wondering if there is a way to get FreeBSD to utilize a 
standard PC keyboard layout. For example when I used to use Linux the up 
arrow key would bring up my last command and I could edit lines with the 
arrow, backspace, and delete keys. This doesn't seem to be the case under 
FreeBSD's default settings. Is the a way to change this, or is it time 
for me to hit the old O'Reilly Termcap book?

Regards- Jeremy.

ps I'm running 2.1
