I think this thread doesn't belong on -questions (try -chat next time),
but I see little harm in extending OT threads.

The "pdksh" shell (and others, IIRC) has a nice ctrl-r gizmo which
lets you do an incremental search on previous commands for a string
whether it begins the command or not.  Very helpful.

You can also save a reach for the arrows by using ctrl-p and ctrl-n in
pdksh and some other shells.
