Hello List; Reading this section "History substitution" in csh(1) seems to indicate I can pull up a previous command from the history list. Lets say that a while back I issued this command ping -c 4 hometown.jones.domain.com Now I would like to retrieve that domain name from the history list. On the command line I enter !?jon The complete ping command is retrieved and automatically executed. I don't want the found command automatically executed, I just want the found command inserted to the command line being visible so I can manually modify it before choosing to execute it. I could not find any info in csh(1) about auto exec or how to stop it. Hoping someone who uses this csh function could help me out. Thanks
