But I > wanted to recall the last directory, which was /foo/bar. I know, but before you recall the directory argument, you recalled the command because you wanted to execute it again. My point was just that you didn't have to type `M-x make-directory RET' again. The other alternative is to recall the command and its argument with `C-x M-:', then edit the argument. > (I think that ido isn't active after M-x anyway, that's just regular > completion.) I don't understand what completion or ido have to do with recalling a previous command or argument. -- Kevin Rodgers
