Re: psql history on OSX terminal

The line still executes correctly, but it's driving me nuts. Google was not my friend. Any ideas?

What that sounds like is that you're running psql with the wrong value
of the TERM environment variable, so that it's guessing wrong about what
control characters to send for terminal cursor positioning. Try
"echo $TERM" and see what you get. On my Mac laptop, it seems to
default to "xterm" and I get good results from that.
