[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.
