IIRC, with es you can get persistent history, and control your prompts with arbitrarily complex logic, all without building stuff into /bin/es. You can do it with es code in esmain or your user profile (Again, IIRC.) I might have imagined that, but I'm even more sure you can set it up so that if a first refers to a directory, then it's the same as cd that directory. So a prompt could be /place; and you can click and resend the whole thing and the result is it goes to /place for you (then does the stuff after the semicolon). Finally, I'm most sure of all that if the above is correct then you can also make it so that /place { is the prompt and it executes the actual command only if the /place is successful. You'd have to finish off all your commands with a }, though... -Morrow
