Re: Unix - ' @ ' symbol does not work in SQL Plus - Solved

Thx all, for your help.

It turns out that a couple of "stty....." lines were commented out in the "bad" .profile. After checking the .profile for a dozen other Unix Accounts, I removed the comment marks in the "bad" .profile. Bingo! The ' @ ' key now works, the BACKSPACE works, and the DEL key now works correctly.
