Cool! ...but it doesn't work for me on a Red Hat 7.0 machine:

  [kentborg_at_borg kentborg]$ ls ^ more
  ls: ^: No such file or directory
  ls: more: No such file or directory
  [kentborg_at_borg kentborg]$ sh
  sh-2.04$ ls ^ more
  ls: ^: No such file or directory
  ls: more: No such file or directory
  sh-2.04$ exit
