   Right.  And, in fact, I had already done that - actually, did it as a pair   
   of DOSKEY macros - before starting this thread.  It works fine, but, of   
   course, it is one more piece of baggage that I have to carry around.   
      
   My overall reason for posting this thread was that I was concerned that I   
   had overlooked an easier way to do it.  You know how that is - you   
   implement something that you really do believe should be built-in, but   
   seems not to be.  Then, after writing your version of it, you wonder if   
   there is something you overlooked.  Maybe something documented, maybe not.   
      
   So, I come to the experts in this Usenet newsgroup asking if there is a   
   built-in way to do it.  The answer seems to be "No".

   I've been watching cat videos on YouTube.  More content and closer to   
   the truth than anything on Fox.
