In VI mode the sequence would be:

	<ESC>/<word><CR><CR>

The first CR ends the search specification and pulls up the last command
that has that word in it and the second <CR> executes that command.  If you 
decide that you don't like that command you can use 'n' insteac of <CR> to
get the previous entry (and so on.....)
