Re: make '! ras' work <Pine.LNX.3.96.971014210442.31962A-100000@dragon.ham.muohio.edu>

Actually, what I meant by "make !ras work" was to further emulate csh
syntax (i.e. in addition to !! and ^...^).  In other words:

> cast 'fireball' krusty
You hit Krusty with a fireball.
> tell torg I just hit Krusty with a fireball!
You tell Torg, 'I just hit Krusty with a fireball!'
> !cast
You hit Krusty with a fireball.
