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.
Excellent! Thanks Ed! I'm thinking that both these options should be the
default. Make Ctrl+UpArrow scroll normally (scroll the scrollbar, but not change
the cursor position). But, good 'ol Patrick O'Brien really did know what he was
doing when he programmed PyShell...
