[Solved] history command

hi,
i had to submit a project into a directory. i copied it from my location to the specified folder, no problemo.
just one thing though.
after i copied and searched for the time i copied using the history command, the system would not show. even using the up arrow key would not display my previously entered commmand.

cp fileA /destinationfolder/fileA

to see it was none of my mistake, i did this twice. however, the same thing happened again.
so is my file copied into the destination folder? i would think so since i didn't get an error message after executing the cp command.
this is a school related question but i am not being graded on this particular dilemma. i am not breaking forum rules.

thanks.

sorry.
problem solved. i scrolled up and did backspace on the command that's why.
so now when i execute the history command, the command on which i scrolled up and did backspace on, shows up as an asterisk.
*for future reference.

Name
       next - show the next message

Syntax
       next [ +foldername ] [ -[no]header ] [ -help ] [ -showproc program ] [ -noshowproc ] [ options to ]

Description
       The  command  displays  the  next message in the current folder.  The next message is the one after the current message in the folder.  The
       message that is shown becomes the current message.

       If you name a folder using the +folder argument, displays the next message in the folder you specify.   That  folder  becomes  the  current
       folder.

Options
       -header
       -noheader Displays  a  one-line	header before the message.  The header consists of the name of the folder and the message number.  This is
		 the default behavior.	It can be suppressed with the -noheader option.

       -help	 Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       -showproc program [ options ]
       -noshowproc
		 Specifies an alternative program to list messages.  The default is to use the program defined by the showproc: entry in the file.
		 As with you can give options to the program at the command line.  These are passed directly to by

       The defaults for this command are:

	      +folder defaults to the current folder
	      -header

Restrictions
       The  command  is  really  a  link  to  the program.  As a result, if you make a link to and that link is not called your link will act like
       instead.  To avoid this, add a profile-entry for the link to your and add the argument to the entry.

Profile Components
       Path:	   To determine the user's Mail directory
       showproc:   Program to show the message

Files
       The user profile.
