Can you use the Escape (ESC) key and the Up Arrow key on a standard 101 keyboard to toggle through your previously used commands in a dtterm window. This is similar to DOSKEY in DOS and the history command in vi. <br>
<br>

 
Don't know - but you can use the ksh, or the posix shell, to get the same effect.<br>
<br>
To view/edit/execute your previous command you type ESC - (escape minus)<br>
<br>
Depending on your system you may (for the ksh) need to execute the command 'set -o vi' to enable the command history.<br>
