bash gurus

[Condon Thomas A KPWA]

I should have mentioned in the last note:

! is the start of access to history.
!$ means the last item on the previous command line.
!! is the last command issued.
!nn is command nn in the history file.
etc.

Read up in man history & man bash.  Regexp & regsub may also be of some use,
since you can perform edits on these commands.


In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord,
