Yeah, I saw this. It's neat.

Still hacking :) Elucibration - great word. It sounds elusive.

It's more or less what I expected - i.e. there is no equivalent of a gui 
select/copy/paste paradigm for the cli. There may still be, but I have never 
stumbled over it.
I think the idea has some use. I am working on making it as simple as possible 
because I want to avoid all the backticks and having to memorize too much.

Thanks for all the replies.
