To all: instead of using !! to repeat my last command, I'm looking for a way to repeat my last command *without* a <CR>, like the Dos F3 key. Is there an easy implementation for this? Thank you, Larry -- Larry Stern LDSTERN@RODAN.ACS.SYR.EDU

They do more than just previous-line history, and pretty soon, you'll want most of their features in MS-DOS. -Kartik -- internet% ypwhich subbarao@phoenix.Princeton.EDU -| Internet kartik@silvertone.Princeton.EDU (NeXT mail) SUBBARAO@PUCC.BITNET - Bitnet

I take it you're using csh. One solution is to switch to tcsh if you
have it, where ^P (or usually the up-arrow key) will give you your
previous command in a manner to your liking.

Just a note: Do NOT get into the habit of using tcsh or any other shell with a ^P key binding if you are a DEC mainframe systems mangler, err, manager, or operator ... --------------------------------------------- Esther C.

If you are using csh, !34:p will make command #34 your last command. Maybe this is not quite what you wanted, but it's close.
