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
