Re: bash: History substitution doesn't happen after ^V^J.

Hi,

One thing I didn't realise from Chet's explanation was that this
simpler, single-line, case also fails.

    $ echo foo
    foo
    $ echo "abc'def" !$ xyz
    abc'def !$ xyz

This bites when I

    $ vi foo.c
    $ ci -u -m"Somebody's patch." !$

Cheers,


Ralph.
