Matt Dillon/Steve Drew's Shell, besides doing a lot of other neat things, does that as well. In fact, it keeps a history of your last n commands, n being as large as you tell it (if I remember right - I just use it now, it's been a long time since I looked at the docs). You can roll back up through them with the arrow key, get the one you want, move around and edit it, then execute it. > Brian E Whitman Dave Hanna -- Dave Hanna, Daltech MicroSystems | "Do or do not -- There is no try" P.O.
