Not to mention it won't give [t]csh fits.  If your last command had been
"clear" and you used the !! notation in a csh-type shell, you'd effectively
end up with:  /fp/dxmaint clear -ra -e

That's because !! means the last command in the history for csh-type
shells.

If you had a filePro file named 'clear', you'd suddenly be rebuilding the
indexes on what you didn't intend to.  ...Oops.  :)
