Line 2:
Is history simply not removing what is in the console when a new command is run? --[[User:Crazyfirex|Crazyfirex]] 21:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
: No. History is pressing the up arrow to retrieve a previously-typed command (one of a sequence of them in fact) that you can then run again, or edit before submitting. It ''greatly'' improves the productivity and usability of a command-line interface. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 03:26, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
