Yes, I could see how that might be a problem. But aren't the commands that
I type in an open shell only available in that shell? I.e. if I have two
bash windows open, and I type a command in one, then I can't access it
(using !! or otherwise) from the other--or at least I haven't been able to.
That aside, isn't there a way to use the 'fc' command to grab the last
command from the history and then edit it?
