Thanks for the condescension and lack of understanding my problem, I will refrain from replying to anymore of your snide and unhelpful emails. Just to clarify: I understand my problem just fine, it is a solution to the eternity of up-arrows you mention above, and I would like to find an implementation in emacs. And I have wasted more time with you than I have already, so I will refrain from randomly browsing the documentation as you so helpfully suggest.
