hum.. true... what's the acme thingy i'm running here? maybe it's inferno
indeed. It's just that after i instaled those things the workload just got
high.

yeah, that way is not all that bad. I was snarfing, pasting, clicking on the
end, pressing return. but i still think that that taking the hands off the
keyboard is pointless here. maybe something like csh's !! and history would

but if you really need to know the path, not having it in the prompt (or how
i set my xterms, in the window title) is a little dangerous while doing ten
things at a time... specialy if you have memory like mine :)
