Trouble is that when I'm in the submenu and have the line I was looking for on the command line, sometimes I want to edit the command line and leave the submenu line. How do you do this easily w/out corrupting the just-found-command? By habit, I do ESC ESC and start typing but this doesn't seem to free me from the submenu cleanly. any suggestions as to what you all out there do for this would be helpful. just picking a nit. thanks. -- Thank you for your time and consideration. _ - - - _ /)- - _ _ / |_o_/ - _ \__ - _ \ \_ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ __ _ _ - Jose Unpingco Mail Code ECE 0407 HM# (619) 622-1243 WK# (619) 534-5809
