Re: possible to refer to last result?

[Christian Zemlin]

I was actually thinking of something SHORTER than
gv $(find -name userguide\*).

(I cannot type gv $(find -name userguide\*) in the first place, because
which program I will actually call naturally depends on the file type of
the found file (eg. ps/pdf/txt ect)
