I'd like to see a history mechanism that works like VMS' RECALL, i.e. 
type something like !vi .cs  and get the last vi command that edits 
.cshrc.  Simple, powerful concept; only a single command to learn. 

Also, the history list should save a command only if it is different 
from the last one.

If both these questions have solutions already it only shows that tcsh 
has too many features.  I can't remember them so I don't use them.
