    Subject: saved replacement texts?

    System V versions of ed have a saved replacement text, so that one
    can do the following:

    	/foo/s//bar/
    	//s//%/		or in vi:    ://s

    Where the `%' means the last replacement text I used.  Vi uses the `~' for
    this purpose.  Is there anything analogous in sam for either the c or s
    commands?

    Is there a reason (other than minimalism for the sake of minimalism) that
    there shouldn't be such a thing?  Am I missing something obvious, or even
    something subtle that's not apparent from the command language tutorial?

    Thanks,

    Arnold

use the mouse; in the case above, select and send in the command window.
is this difficult?
