HOWTO remove a previous wildcard file list?

[Mark Hurley <debian4tux@telocity.com>]

Anyone know of a method to easily solve this ...

I *sometimes* list the files before deleting them:

	ls A*.pdf

Ensuring I have only listed the ones I wish to delete, I then enter:

	rm A*.pdf

Great, but anyone know of an easier why than the following?

1) Type the second command followed by the selected mask?
2) Go back one in bash "history", [home] to beginning of line replace
"ls" with "rm".

I'm thinking something like the bash CTRL-R combo? Where you would
type rm (second command) and do a key-combo and fill rest of previous
line in, or to step it further you could keep scrolling back in
history with uparrow-something combo?

Thanks!
