Syntax: <history> 
 
Command line history, very similar to such un*x shells as tcsh. There are 4 
types of history access and these are listed below: 
 
!!                 : This does your last command again 
!<negative offset> : This will do the command <negative offset> prior 
                   : to the current one 
!<command number>  : This will do the command <command number> 
!<string pattern>  : This will match the most recent command which starts 
                     with <string pattern> 
 
EXAMPLES: 
(Sample history list. Typing 'history' will show you your list!) 
  10 bounce 
   9 break door 
   8 bounce wayfarer 
   7 grovel
