	I came up with some very useful WShell 2.0 definitions for command
histories using FComp, in case anybody would like them.  These go in your
s:Config-FComp file.

	The first two are simple:  move the cursor the beginning or
the end of the line.  I have these bound to control-A and control-E
respectively, just like GNU Emacs keybindings.

; Move cursor to beginning of command line
KEY 32 QUAL  8 NAME CTRL-A    FMT "*E[19]*E[61]*E[61]"
; Move cursor to end of command line
KEY 18 QUAL  8 NAME CTRL-E    FMT "*E[61]"

	The next one I find extremely useful.  It repeats the previous
command you typed, but deletes the first word (the name of the program) and
positions the cursor at the beginning of the line.  Thus, it lets you
conveniently run a program with the same arguments as the previous command.
(It's bound to control-O for no particular reason.)

; Repeat the arguments of the previous command
KEY 24 QUAL  8 NAME CTRL-O    FMT "*E[16]*E[19]*E[61]*E[61]*E[75] *E[19]"

UNIX csh users may recognize this as similar to the !* history command.

	The last one is similar to the previous one:  it redisplays the LAST
argument of the previous command (commonly a filename), and positions the
cursor at the beginning of the line.  I use this one all the time for
listing a file and then performing a second operation on it (such as
deleting it or editing it).  (It's bound to control-Z for no particular
reason.)

; Repeat only the last argument of the previous command
KEY 49 QUAL  8 NAME CTRL-Z    FMT "*E[16]*E[23]*E[53] *E[19]"

UNIX csh users will recognize this as the !$ history command; ksh users will
find it similar to the $_ variable.

	If anybody would like to share some more WShell/FComp definitions,
I'll volunteer to collect them.  Mail them to me and I'll post a summary.

	Have fun!  Followups are to c.s.a.applications.

                                                        Dan
