    If tcsh is anything like csh (and I think it is), you should be able to just use:

    !-2
    

    to execute the second-to-last command (!! is shorthand for !-1).

    Alternatively, you could use history to check out your last few commands and then use:

    !N
    

    where N is the command number for the command you want to re-execute.
