If you've already closed the command prompt, you're probably out of luck.
If you do not have DOSKEY installed, then you're probably out of luck too.
If DOSKEY is on, then you should be able to press PF3 to retireve the last command, or use the up arrow or left right arrows to bring back previous commands.
I thought I heard somewhere that there is a DOS history. That might be something else to look into. I'm not familiar with that option and what it does.
