Sniff, thanks...  <wipes nose> but I'll still have to change my habits.
Problem is that I use "curses mode" and like to check that my
complicated pick pattern is right by doing ":pick <complicated pattern>",
then after letting the stuff flow past (yes, it's a memory mapped screen)
I say ":pick | whatever".  I suppose it's not difficult to pop into line
mode to do this, but it'll be a while before it comes naturally ....

As a matter of interest, why does the :escape command not get put in the
history in the first place ?  Historical reasons ? [ pun intended :-) ]

Thanks for the hanky anyway :-)
