okay, that's interesting -- now lemme see if i can figure how
that'd be useful as well:
if you want to execute commands a, b, c, d and e that you've
already entered into the history list, it'll save you having to
uparrow-uparrow-uparrow-uparrow-uparrow-... to retrieve the next
command in sequence.
talk about lazy! (but ain't it wonderful?)

What's a "MANPAGE"? It's the documentation you get when you enter
"man <something>" such as "man sources.list" or "man interfaces"
or "man bash".
