Command Reference

Command Edit Mode
The command interface provides a history mechanism similar to the
UNIX K-shell history facility, which allows you to automatically
display and edit previously typed commands. This feature may help
save time when entering frequently used commands.

Commands
Table 5-1 lists commonly used edit commands. There are other
advanced commands available; however, only the most common are
listed here. If you are familiar with the UNIX K-shell history facility,
most of the same commands may be used in the FORMULA 8200
command line interface.
