sometimes, using command history to edit commands, I end up
with one liners that are several lines long, and yes it becomes
difficult to review before hitting enter.

One way around it is to use ctrl-a or however get to the beginning
of the line, add a # and enter the line as a comment. then with it
in history buffer you can easily review with the h alias "fc -l",
which wraps.

since I'm tropically using xterm I can then carefully mouse copy
and paste the line I want, or just read it into a file and make a
script.

(if someone knows how to make the home/end keys work from mac
xterm, that would be a big help)
