Most, if not all, of the command line shells you will encounter have this feature. The up and down keys trawl through your previous commands. You can type '!!' to repeat the last command and 'history' to show a list of your recent commands. (There's more, but that's enough crunchy goodness for now). Have fun, Andrew
