file and appends the HELP report.

enter HELP without any parameters.
ALL
displays help text for all commands (typically used with the OUT listfile
option).
*
displays all the help screens (typically used with the OUT listfile option).
HISTORY Command
SAFECOM maintains a history buffer of the command lines you enter during an
interactive session. You can display a specified number of these commands with the
HISTORY command. This command also allows you to clear the last command or all
commands from the history buffer.
The HISTORY command adds line numbers to the commands it displays even if your
normal SAFECOM prompt does not include line numbers.
HISTORY
entered by itself, displays the 10 most recent lines in the history buffer.
lines
specifies the number of most recently entered commands to be displayed.
RESET LAST
specifies that the most recently entered command in the history buffer is cleared
and the current command line number is set to the number of the cleared
command. The HISTORY RESET LAST command is also cleared from the
history buffer.
RESET ALL
specifies that all commands in the history buffer are cleared and the command line
number is reset to 1.
