Displaying And Executing History Commands - 3Com 4500 PWR 26-Port Configuration Manual

If in the current view, the character string you have typed can already uniquely identify a keyword, you
do not need to type the complete keyword.
For example, in user view, commands starting with an s include save, startup saved-configuration,
and system-view.
To save the current configuration, type sa.
To set the configuration file for next startup, type st s.
To enter system view, type sy.
You can also press Tab to have a partial keyword automatically completed, and check that the keyword
is the one you intended to use.

display in cycles all the keywords starting with the character string
