[... snip signs of aggravation over my ignorance ...] I am quite well aware of all of the ways you mention of recalling history etc. etc. When I've tried using them, they all seem tiresomely cumbersome in comparison to my usual experience of typing a few characters, pressing F8 and then continuing from there. I was aware of Ctrl-r but I didn't think you could then go down from there. Others have said that it's possible, so I'll revisit that. I realise that for many people, being able to type !!-2 or whatever the incantation is is a godsend. For me, it's awkward at best. Horses for courses. I'm not dismissing the entire bash experience. Of *course* I realise that you can launch programs from it and can write scripts to loop etc. Please understand: I'm not a whining newbie who's dipped his toes in the water of bash and found it wanting. I'm someone who earnestly wants to make the best use of the tools at his disposal, in this case bash, but finds it curiously wanting in this particular respect. Thanks nonetheless for your explanations and ideas. TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
