You know, it's kind of odd to use ``-'' as the name of the
history program when ``"'' is a common symbol for ``ditto''.

I know I could change it, but that would be nonconformist. :-) Colon is
plausible by analogy with the bourne shell colon, I suppose. And
anyone who uses emacs is conditioned to accept bucky bits, so shift is
less problematic. :-)

"-" doesn't require SHIFT. I think the labs folks use ":" for rc
instead of "=", but that requires using the shift key. Go figure.
Of course you are free to name the program whatever you want...
