Why would you want that?

  507  spam xxx.eml
  508  cd .jpilot
  509  grep -i poisson AddressDB.pdb
  510  l Address*
  511  vi AddressDB.pdb
  512  spamcup
  513  history


Now if  want to run command number 510, I just say

!510

If you *really* think this is a great idea, just roll your own

myhist()
{
    history | awk '{print $2}'
}
