Methinks you overstate the case...
The " and "" commands work beautifully - " searches the text in the  
window and spits out the lines of text that match a prompt followed  
by the given argument, you can then sweep the one you want and click- 
send it; "" runs the last match.  Things I prefer about this is that  
if you keep your path in the prompt, then you even get the directory  
context at hand for where the command was executed.  Handy.

That said, I don't do a lot of heavy work in a 9term - mostly I work  
in a win window in acme where the combination of 2-1 chording and  
button 3 searching is substantially more effective than 9term's  
somewhat awkward send mechanism.
