Command Edit; Error Prompts - 3Com E4500-24 Cli Configuration Manual

The Windows 9x HyperTerminal explains the up and down arrow keys in a different way, and
therefore the two keys are invalid when you access history commands in such an environment.
However, you can use <Ctrl+ P> and <Ctrl+ N> instead to achieve the same purpose.
When you enter the same command multiple times consecutively, only one history command entry
is created by the command line interface.

Error Prompts

If a command passes the syntax check, it will be successfully executed; otherwise, an error message
