I'm trying to run hitory commands on LINUX.But when I run !#, it returns not found error

Question

I'm new to LINUX. I'm using LINUX thru putty When I run history command, I see last ran commands but when I'm trying to run them I'm getting this error...

266     hist
267     h
268     ls -la
269     ls -lastr
270     vi .sh_history
271     vi .
272     h
QTH614:samgw:/prod/user/home/qth614>!266
-ksh: !266: not found [No such file or directory]
/prod/user/home/614>

This might be necause of my putty configuration...I'm not sure.

Thanks, Sam.

That syntax is something I'm used to with bash, but it looks like ksh you might want to try this:

r 266
