The bash shell has several convenient line editing features:

use the Up arrow to scroll back through the command line history; Down arrow goes forward
use Ctrl-a to move the cursor to the beginning of a line; Ctrl-e to the end
use Backspace to remove text before the cursor; Delete to remove text after the cursor
Ctrl-k ("kill") to delete all text on your command line after the cursor
Ctrl-y ("yank") to copy the last killed text to where the cursor is

language	bash
title	rsync (remote directory)

cat $CORENGS/tacc/dragonfly_access.txt
rsync -avrW corengstools@dragonfly.icmb.utexas.edu:~/custom_tracks/ ~/scratch/data/custom_tracks/
