Saving History
Commands
The CLI can automatically save the commands that have been used. You can
invoke and repeatedly execute them as needed. By default, the CLI can save up to
ten commands for each user. You can use the history-command max-size
command to set the capacity of the history commands log buffer for the current
user interface (For the detailed description of the history-command max-size
command, refer to “Controlling Login Users” on page 75). The following table lists
the operations that you can perform.

You may use arrow keys to access history commands in Windows 200X and XP
Terminal or Telnet. However, the up-arrow and down-arrow keys are invalid in
Windows 9X HyperTerminal, because they are defined in a different way. You can
use <Ctrl+P> and <Ctrl+N> instead.
Command Line Error
Information
The commands are executed only if they have no syntax error. Otherwise, error
information is reported. Table 86 lists some common errors.
