.Last.value or % or ANS or ... (was unix)

Would be nice to have something simpler than .Last.value

Perhaps I am stating the obvious or being extremely stupid but you can
create a function:

        lv <- function()
         {
         .Last.value
         }

And then use lv() whenever you need .Last.value.

How do you say "give me the output I saw three steps ago?" In Mathematica
you would use %%% or Out[-3].
