M-x shell RET Since emacs implement its own history and completion, the keys are usually bound to emacs functions, and not passed to the inferior shell. If you want to run an old command from ~/.bash_history, you could type: sort -u < ~/.bash_history then move to the line with the command and type RET. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Cats meow out of angst "Thumbs!
