From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Uh, are you sure your shell you're using is bash and not zsh or something else?
Bash is indeed just !12345.
Yeah, it's bash. But !12345 executes the command 12345, but I don't want to execute it, just print it to the prompt.
Does !12345:p do what you want?
Edit: that also makes hitting the up arrow result in whatever command that was, so if you wanted to edit the line or whatever, you could !12345:p, up, then edit and execute.
ohh now I got it....yes thats it! Thanks!!
It doesn't do anything, just prints a blank line.
