In Linux, I had managed to set up the terminal in such a way that if I type part of a command and press the arrow key 'up', it would auto-complete with the last command that started with what I had typed. I tried to do the same on MacOS following the instructions on [this MacWorld article](http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20031026174236860) , but it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to set this up on a Mac?
