>Environment:
>Description:
csh doesn't allow the full history syntax documented in the man page. The
man page says:
The `:' separating the event specification from the word designator can
be omitted if the argument selector begins with a `^', `$', `*' `-' or
`%'.
However,
% echo !-2*
2*: Event not found.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use any of the argument selectors ^, *, - or % after a history command that
is not !!
>Fix:
Note, I didn't take the time to gain a deep understanding of the code, but
this fixes the immediate problem. I don't know if it creates new problems.
Someone who knows csh internals (is there anyone left?) might want to review
it to be absolutely sure.
