I just tried these sample input commands, and then tried to search
for these.
> echo
> ls
> date
> who
> env
> info ls
here's what I find at the end of the above sequence of commands:
1. hitting M-R takes me to a regex-search prompt for previous i/p
2a. now if I enter 'l' <Enter>,
2b. the unix command prompt is 'ready' with "info ls",
3a. repeating 2a,
3b. the unix command prompt is 'ready' with "ls".
(did the backwards search for 'l' since the two instances - 'ls' and
'info ls' are separated by non-matching commands. works for me?)
