Command Recall

Here is an example of using the bang (!) symbol to recall commands:

nM>status myfile  

can be rerun with a partial command followed by a carriage return(<CR>):

nM>!stat<CR>
nM>status myfile

By hitting the up arrow, you can recall the last command you typed and edit it before issuing it again. Hitting the up arrow repeatedly moves you further back through the history of commands during this NeXtMidas session. Hitting the down arrow moves you "forward" through the list.

There is also a RECALL command which recalls recent commands beginning with the letters of its argument. For example,

nM>recall sin 

recalls the most recent command beginning with "sin".
