Pascal, [moved to chat]
These comments seem very cogent, and are essential to doing the more finance oriented version of this essay. I do have a question. Is there a way to use a long input log surreptitiously in a session so that it does not require using the up arrow a n times for each usage, because that is ugly looking (where n is the number of sentences you want to execute)? Or maybe you are suggesting another use of the input log about which I am unaware?
