Andy,
How interesting. I was trying to do a lastcommand thing at
some point. But I could come up with nothing better then
sync my history with current and then parse that. But your
solution seems like it'd be much faster as it doe snot sync
the history...
Is this slow, or does it work well? If so, I'll steal this
from you :-)
thanks.
