What caught my attention, however, was that all the commands were builtin. I tested with non-builtin commands (eg. /bin/echo instead of echo) and ESC-. did nothing. In fact unless the last command was a builtin, ESC-. just repeated the last _editing_ action. This is not a desired behaviour however IMO, to repeat the last command (if builtin) upon a ESC-. on an empty line. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Bahman
