But this was my whole point! I knew about history-search-backward, and already use it - but I still need two keys to be able to get just the previous command, or the previous command starting-with-something. The 4DOS behaviour is so increadably handy that knowing tcsh also has it may make me switch to that shell. > I have read that this is fixed > in bash 2.0, at last, but did not try it yet. Me neither, and I'm a bit afraid to as messages on the list suggest that it breaks a lot of existing scripts.
