Scripting with the History panel
The History panel records a list of the steps you have performed while working in Fireworks.
Each step is stored on a separate line of the History panel, starting with the most recent. By
default, the panel remembers 20 steps. However, you can change this value at any time.
Creating commands
You can save groups of steps in the History panel as a command that you can reuse. You can
execute saved commands in any Fireworks document. They are not document-specific.
Saved commands are stored as JSF files in the Commands folder in your user-specific Fireworks
configuration folder. For information on the location of this folder, see
files" on page 286.
