ACK! Danger Will Robinson!

Ok, using the 'all' value it might be good to point out that when it eliminates the duplicate, it eliminates the MOST CURRENT duplicate. So if you typed some long command 10 entries ago and then type it again, you can't up arrow once and expect it to be there - you have to up arrow 10 times!

It would be more convenient if the thing I just typed was only one up arrow away. I spent several days trying to figure out why my history "wasn't working" only to remember this hint. Guess I'll be using the 'prev' option from now on...
