[cfowler at shuttle ~]$ history | tail
  991  vim ~/.bashrc
  992  source ~/.bashrc
  993  history | grep mkiso
  994  rexec 688
  995  cd cloop-2.02/
  996  sudo mount -o loop ./filesystem2.img /mnt/loop0/
  997  mount
  998  sudo -s
  999  history | grep cdrecord
 1000  history | tail
[cfowler at shuttle ~]$ 


Say I want to redo the mount without retyping.  I just want to specify
the line number in the history buffer.

I specified bash and bash can be loaded on many unix systems therefore
making this consistent.
