-       The history library supports a history  expansion  feature
-       that  is identical to the history expansion in b\bba\bas\bsh\bh.\b.  This
-       section describes what syntax features are available.
-
-       History expansions introduce words from the  history  list
-       into  the input stream, making it easy to repeat commands,
-       insert the arguments to a previous command into  the  cur-
-       rent  input  line,  or  fix  errors  in  previous commands
-       quickly.
-
-       History expansion is usually performed immediately after a
-       complete  line is read.  It takes place in two parts.  The
-       first is to determine which line from the history list  to
-       use during substitution.  The second is to select portions
-       of that line for inclusion into the current one.  The line
-       selected  from  the history is the _\be_\bv_\be_\bn_\bt, and the portions
-       of that line that are acted upon are _\bw_\bo_\br_\bd_\bs.  Various _\bm_\bo_\bd_\bi_\b-
-       _\bf_\bi_\be_\br_\bs are available to manipulate the selected words.  The
-       line is broken into words in the same fashion as b\bba\bas\bsh\bh does
-       when  reading input, so that several words that would oth-
-       erwise be separated are  considered  one  word  when  sur-
-       rounded  by  quotes  (see  the description of h\bhi\bis\bst\bto\bor\bry\by_\b_t\bto\bok\bk-\b-
-       e\ben\bni\biz\bze\be(\b()\b) below).  History expansions are introduced by  the
-       appearance  of the history expansion character, which is !\b!
-       by default.  Only backslash  (\\b\)  and  single  quotes  can
-       quote the history expansion character.

-       The  programmer  using  the  History library has available
-       functions for remembering lines on a history list, associ-
-       ating  arbitrary data with a line, removing lines from the
-       list, searching through the list for a line containing  an
-       arbitrary  text  string,  and  referencing any line in the
-       list directly.  In addition, a history _\be_\bx_\bp_\ba_\bn_\bs_\bi_\bo_\bn  function
-       is  available  which provides for a consistent user inter-
-       face across different programs.
-
-       The user using programs written with the  History  library
-       has  the benefit of a consistent user interface with a set
-       of well-known commands for manipulating the text of previ-
-       ous  lines and using that text in new commands.  The basic
-       history manipulation commands are identical to the history
-       substitution provided by b\bba\bas\bsh\bh.
-
-       If  the  programmer  desires,  he  can  use  the  Readline
-       library,  which  includes  some  history  manipulation  by
-       default, and has the added advantage of command line edit-
-       ing.
-
-       Before declaring any functions using any functionality the
-       History  library  provides  in  other code, an application
-       writer should include the file _\b<_\br_\be_\ba_\bd_\bl_\bi_\bn_\be_\b/_\bh_\bi_\bs_\bt_\bo_\br_\by_\b._\bh_\b> in any
-       file  that  uses  the History library's features.  It sup-
-       plies extern declarations for all of the library's  public

-       functions  and  variables,  and declares all of the public
-       data structures.
+       The programmer using the History library has  available  functions  for
+       remembering  lines on a history list, associating arbitrary data with a
+       line, removing lines from the list, searching through the  list  for  a
+       line  containing  an arbitrary text string, and referencing any line in
+       the list directly.  In addition, a history _\be_\bx_\bp_\ba_\bn_\bs_\bi_\bo_\bn function is avail-
+       able  which  provides  for a consistent user interface across different
+       programs.
+
+       The user using programs written with the History library has the  bene-
+       fit  of  a  consistent user interface with a set of well-known commands
+       for manipulating the text of previous lines and using that text in  new
+       commands.  The basic history manipulation commands are identical to the
+       history substitution provided by b\bba\bas\bsh\bh.
+
+       If the programmer desires, he  can  use  the  Readline  library,  which
+       includes some history manipulation by default, and has the added advan-
+       tage of command line editing.
+
+       Before declaring any functions  using  any  functionality  the  History
+       library  provides  in  other code, an application writer should include
+       the file  _\b<_\br_\be_\ba_\bd_\bl_\bi_\bn_\be_\b/_\bh_\bi_\bs_\bt_\bo_\br_\by_\b._\bh_\b>  in  any  file  that  uses  the  History
+       library's  features.   It  supplies  extern declarations for all of the
+       library's public functions and variables, and declares all of the  pub-
+       lic data structures.
