Jerry Peek is a living god. I've seen his shell presentation through
SVLUG, and after fourteen years of Unix use (including a good six years
of solid GNU/Linux and Unix), I picked up some tips.
An alternative solution using history:
$ ls A*.pdf
$ ^ls^rm
Larry's homepage includes links to several presentations with some good
shell tips.
