It now seems very reasonable to me also. :) And leads to a question
about up-arrow history. How do you recall a command which may be 17
up-arrows away? MS-DOS 5 had doskey, i.e. F8 + letter(s) would recall
the most recent command that began with that(those) letter(s). I want
to do something similar with bash but am unsure of the unix way (other
than pressing up-arrow 17 times.)
