This is useful but not the same as M-p and M-n in tcsh, which is why I bound them to keys. If you type, say, "g" then M-p repeatedly you get all command lines that begin with "g". I use this *all* the time, as an alternative to "!g" because it lets me see if I got the right command line before I hit Enter. Just for the record: I am *not* a vi user and would not want to be associated with advocates of such an editor. So there! kai -- I wish my mouth had a backso^Hpace key.
