Hi,
	The command !-1 on SunOS v1.1.1 is equivalant to the up arrow
on a VMS system.  I have absolutely no idea where this is documented.
If you type the word history, then you will see a listing of previous
commands issued and say you want to type command number 5 on the list,
then type !-5.  
Just another one of those intuitive SunOS or Unix features ;-)
Cheers......bruce
