Since there are two key sequences pre-bound to yank-last-arg, why not create a macro that first performs M-> (to take you to the end of the history), then invokes M-_ to yank the last argument of the last command? Something like "\M-.":"\M->\M-_" would probably get you started. The macro facility offers you a lot of flexibility. Chet -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer Live Strong.
