Well, PIP: is another alternate name for ConMan, as is CNX:...  I can
see your problem with the history, but I don't find it critical.  I
suppose it could move the command to the bottom of the history list,
but then it's missing from the sequence above.  What I do when I want
to force the command I'm repeating to the bottom of the list is just
hit space and backspace, which modifies the line, so it's not
considered the same line.  That's a workaround, but it works okay.  On
the other hand, I believe there is a "true history" option on ConMan;
check the doc file...

Well, Bill Hawes has the source, of course.  :-)
