Something that might help: bash has both emacs and vi key bindings, and I think it defaults to emacs, SO if you know that you used 'ls -stuFF' many commands ago, you can type <CTRL-R> ls and bash will search backwards in the history list for the last time you used ls and instantly take you there. I use this whenever I dont wanna hit the up arrow 100 times. Hope this helps, marlon
