I'm running the latest version of the EXIFTool script on my mac. I'm running OS X 10.6.2 which provides the bash shell as default. when i run
exiftool -k filename
the shell no longer provides a history and hitting return doesn't advance no the next line -
mwks-mbp-2:~ mattkime$ mwks-mbp-2:~ mattkime$ mwks-mbp-2:~ mattkime$
---
This is annoying. But I'm trying to extract the User Comments exif field from the doc. advice?

badly. But since you only want to see EXIF UserComment, you
could extract this tag only and avoid this problem:
exiftool -usercomment FILE

why does it say "press any key" ? is the output being piped through an app to do paging?

The "press any key" is the purpose of the -k option.
This option is usually only used in Windows when launched from
the GUI to prevent the terminal window from closing
before you can read the output.
