[ale] tcsh history command question

[Dow Hurst]

I've seen Bob Toxen do this but can't remember the syntax.

Let's say you have a previous command you want to access and edit in a 
simple way.  How could I easily incorporate a sed s/X/Y/g type syntax 
into a history retrieval command?  Here is my example of what I'd like 
to do:

Previous command:

Aslan 58% cp /etc/stdcshrc ./nmarshal/.cshrc
..
Aslan 73% !58 s/cshrc/profile/g

will that do what I want or will that not?  What is the right way to do 
this?  I'll take bash oriented explanations instead of tcsh since that 
is the default under Linux.  Anyone have good examples of how to harness 
the power of this type syntax?  Thanks a bunch,
Dow
