Actually, I've never used those scripts... mainly because I'm not really
sure I "get it".  I've just always typed what I wanted in, and a lot of
times, my work patterns involve invoking the same pretty recent steps over

I guess I should learn to try out the " command sometime.  I mean like
pretty much everything else Russ has done :-)
