It's rather subjective, of course, but here is an attempt at an objective explanation: If you want to execute a different command with the same arguments it's usually faster to just type "anothercommand $_" but if you want to change something near the end of line pressing the up arrow and editing the previous command line is more convenient. To summarize, please don't change this to ksh behaviour which is IMO much less convenient. Thanks, VZ
