Thanks, Bart and Karoly.

history-beginning-search-backward works just fine. I was just curious to the 
feature about '_history_complete_word' discussed in previous letter. Now
it looks like it will show a menu to the user for selection. This isn't
really useful I think. I'm going to bind up-arrow and down-arrow  to
'history-beginning-search-backward' and 'history-beginning-search-forward'
respectively.
