Command Line Error Information - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

If you execute the same command repeatedly, the device saves only the earliest command.
However, if you execute the same command in different formats, the system considers them as
different commands. For example, if you execute the display cu command repeatedly, the system
saves only one command in the history buffer; if you execute the command in the format of display
cu and display current-configuration respectively, the system saves them as two commands.
Follow these steps to access history commands:
To do...
View the history commands
Access the previous history
command
Access the next history
command
You may use arrow keys to access history commands in Windows 200X and XP Terminal or Telnet.
However, the up-arrow and down-arrow keys are invalid in Windows 9X HyperTerminal, because they
are defined in a different way. You can press Ctrl+P or Ctrl+N instead.
