: 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) |
