Editing History (command)

<pre>
Syntax: history

History
-------
Command line history very similar to such Un*x shells as csh.
There are several types of history access and these are listed below:

  !<command number>        : This will do the command <command number>.
  !<string pattern>        : This will match the most recent command which
                             starts with <string pattern>.
  !!                       : This will repeat the last command.
  !!<args>                 : This will append <args> to the last command,
                             and execute it.
  ^^<args>                 : This will prepend <args> to the last command,
                             and execute it.
  ^<pattern 1>^<pattern 2> : This will substitute <pattern 1> in the last
                             command with <pattern 2>, and execute it.
