4 stars because I think the letters should be lowercase. Great work otherwise !
In addition to the cases of letters, I believe the last 2 bang commands are not right.
!* stands for all the arguments of previous command, !*:p prints them. It does not run the previous command without arguments. Could be the version of bash?
