I remember going to one of my first BaB HantsLUG meetings, and I
watched someone using the command prompt, and I could not understand
how he was getting the command to appear with so few key presses.
Tab completion and command history are great. I just wish I could
get command history to work in cygwin then I can be happy at work as
well :-)
