Command Edit Mode
The command interface provides a history mechanism similar to the
UNIX K-shell history facility, which allows you to automatically
display and edit previously typed commands. This feature may help
to save time when entering frequently used commands.
Entering and
Exiting Edit

Commands
Table 2-1 lists commonly used edit commands. There are other
advanced commands available, however, only the most common are
listed here. If you are familiar with the UNIX K-shell history facility,
most of the same commands may be used in the FORMULA 8200
switch command line interface.
