Command: history
HISTORY displays the history of commands entered at the
command line, or changes the maximum size of this history.
You can use the commands once more by typing the key
"ARROW UP" or "ARROW DOWN" at the command line.
Syntax:
HISTORY [size] [/?]
Options:
size Is not yet implemented.
/? Shows the help.
Comments:
Without "size" the current contents of the command line history
buffer is displayed.
With the size, the size of the history buffer is changed.
THE HISTORY is stored in the context segment (history) of command.com,
for more information see: COMMAND /E:nnn and MEMORY.
HISTORY is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
HISTORY Shows the last executed commands.
HISTORY /? Shows the help.
ARROW UP Shows the last executed command. Press ENTER and it will
be executed again. If you press ARROW UP several times you
will see that a lot of last commands are stored. Simply
stop and click ENTER when you have the correct one.
ARROW DOWN You were too fast with clicking on ARROW UP? Simply click
ARROW DOWN and you come back!
