- There is an equivalent: $ARG.
-
- But more generally, is there a way to reference multiple files or arguments;
- for example, to select two files and use them in a diff command?
-
- Also, is there a way of modifying an existing command without deleting it
- and then adding the modified version (i.e., typing the whole description
- again)?
