Previous Command
We have a Solaris Server and I am acessing it through telnet to run various commands for my data validation like GREP, SED, AWK etc.

My requirement is how do i use the previous command that was executed. I tried the option 'ESC' and then 'k'. It displays the characters like '^[[A' etc. How do I get my previous command in this case. Pls note I am using Microsoft Telnet to access the server.

I use to get it previously when I was working on AIX Server. But, I was using a unix client called 'X-Thin Pro'. Is it not possible with Telnet??
