The C-r key sequence does something else: it goes back to the last
encountered word that you typed. For instance, they key sequence
(C-r),c,p,(space),-,a would list the last command that had 'cp -a' in it (and
pressing return would run it). But if I go back too far in this list, I'm
supposed to be able to press C-s to go forward in the list to find the
next-latest 'cp -a' command, but as I said, CTRL+S is already being used.
