(I just sent this but forgot to add version information, tried to kill the letter, but don't know if I was successful) [bash-1.04 on Microvax II runiing Ultrix2.2] Hello, I have one bug to report and one suggestion. The bug is that the history variable !* is expanding to the first word of the previous string if it consisted of only one word, rather than a null string. After an ls, for instance, I would expect a null for !*, but get ls. On multiword items !* works as documented. The suggestion involves adding one more special character to the decode_prompt_string function. It would be nice to have the basename of the current working directory (the part after the final /). The current working directory is nice, but gets rather long... Otherwise, this looks great, best command line editing I've see in a shell. Chris (thewalt@ce.cmu.edu) ------- End of Forwarded Message
