(RT 6.4A, though the problem has been around longer)
My saved history is long enough that I always have
/mit/discuss/${hosttype}/xdsc/xgoo -rv &
in it, so I typically re-run that command with
!/mit/disc
However, I often mistype it, and enter something like:
... d i s u DEL SPC
which gets me a `beep' instead of the correct expansion. At this
point, I do have ".../dis" entered, and the expansion should work. If
I back up one more character (delete the `s') and re-type that SAME
character, the expansion then works.
