Press d-pad up to cycle through the history.
For example:
Code:
alias <shortcut>="<command>"
Code:
alias cdl="cd $1;ls -al"

Install bash, then you will be able to do the "bang bang" ( http://www.csee.umbc.edu/courses/und...lec06/01.shtml )

http://www.makikiweb.com/n800/downlo...1.17.armel.deb
Download to your n800, then after becoming root (with sudo gainroot) type:
dpkg -i bash_alone-3.1.17.armel.deb
After the install, just type bash on the prompt, and you are ready to go with bangs and aliases!

Yup, aliases work here under ash just fine, including the pile I normally use on the desktop box :-).

Where does one place one's aliases in ash, so they are read in automagically?

I'm guessing, but did you try ~/.ashrc?

~/.ashrc doesn't seem to work (for aliases)

Add your aliases to your .profile as user (located at /home/user/.profile).
Once you're done:
$ sudo gainroot
# source /home/user/.profile
# exit
Your aliases should work now as user.
Once you're done:
$ sudo gainroot
# source /home/user/.profile
# exit
Your aliases should work now as user.
b) is there a program/function key where one can customize common typings so to minimize key strokes, e.g. sudo gainroot, exit, cat /proc/partitions, free, /media/mmc1....etc
c) if NO to the above, will osso-statusbar-cpu which has a command feature, be customized for the above purpose?
If all NO to the above, how does one enter repetitive entries either during tablet use or xterm use?
TIA,
