Viewing history commands

You can use arrow keys to access history commands in Windows 200x and Windows XP Terminal or
Telnet. In Windows 9x HyperTerminal, the arrow keys are invalid, and you must use Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N
instead.
To view command history, use one of the following methods:
Task
Display all commands in the command history
buffer.
Display the previous history command.
Display the next history command.

Setting the command history buffer size for user interfaces

Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enter user interface view.
3. Set the maximum number of
commands that can be saved
in the command history
buffer.

Controlling the CLI output

This section describes the CLI output control features that help you identify the desired output.

Pausing between screens of output

The system automatically pauses after displaying a screen if the output is too long to fit on one screen. By
default, up to 24 lines can be displayed on a screen. To change the screen length, use the screen-length
screen-length command (see Fundamentals Command Reference). To control output, use keys in
