This is subtle, and the documentation is could be clearer.


Never! ;-)

So how exactly does one display the most recent event from a newly-
reloaded history?  That's where the HISTCMD parameter comes in:



z() {
       fc -R
       fc -l $HISTCMD
     }
Well I dunno Bart, my mind is big enough for Kant, but not big enough for all this stuff. I'm glad you understand it. All I can add it that " fc -l $HISTCMD " WORKS! The byzantine complexities I leave to better men. Thanks again. But does it really need to be so obscure? I suppose so.
