I've tried it -- it seems to do nothing:
224 ==/dkcjunk==> dirs
/dkcjunk /opt6/myexternals/home/dkc/4msnew
/big5/david3/from_netcom-dir2/sources-stuff/lynx2-8-5/src
225 ==/dkcjunk==> pushd /home/dkc; cd .
/home/dkc /dkcjunk /opt6/myexternals/home/dkc/4msnew
/big5/david3/from_netcom-dir2/sources-stuff/lynx2-8-5/src
226 ==/home/dkc==> egrepin -c tck *.mss | egrep -v '\.mss:0$'
sundgrep.mss:1
sundgrep_orig.mss:1
227 ==/home/dkc==> popd; cd .
/dkcjunk /opt6/myexternals/home/dkc/4msnew
/big5/david3/from_netcom-dir2/sources-stuff/lynx2-8-5/src
228 ==/dkcjunk==> alias xalias 'printf "At startup, su(ck)-in one .smd
"subcommand"-file:\n (NOTE: below, "su" is ok-abbrev for suck-in ("source")
cmd "subcommands t.smd",\n meaning "read in the sub-commands located in
subcommands-file t.smd")\n At startup, "su" EITHER: cuffs.smd OR
tools.smd\n (should be local indir-symlinks *thru*
/home/dkc/4msnew/{cuffs,tools}.smd)"'
228 ==/dkcjunk==> xalias
qq

See just above, my "g<return>", several of them.
Does nothing, I think.

Any other suggestions on recovering a seemingly-"destroyed"
*shell*-buffer that's gotten (apparantely irretrievably) sucked
into the ^G^G^G,,, snakepit.
thanks,
David
