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 do the trick...

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 :)
