One of the shortcomings of the Command Window is that the output of previous commands gets added to the window, making retrieving an earlier command a real pain sometimes. Next time you want to scroll up to a previous command, type Ctrl-UpArrow instead: it scrolls through the Command Window history one line at a time, no matter how much output text has accumulated.

Or, if you know that the command you want, you can type the first few letters of it and press F8. The most recent command that matches what you typed will appear on the line. If that's not what you had in mind, type a few more characters, and press F8 again until you've located the command you want.
