Here ya go...  ^ is used to replace character(s) in previous command and re-run.

In this example, I need to specify "nj" to "nk" because "^j^k" would result in
"cat kunj" (replace first "j")...

$ cat junj
cat: junj: No such file or directory
$ ^nj^nk
cat junk
# contents of "junk" spilled here...
$

HTH,
Pierre
