Tip of the Day

Bring recent commands to the command line with the "Up" cursor key

Use the "Up" cursor (arrow) key on the keyboard to scroll through recently used commands on the command line. When you find the one you want, hit the Enter key to start that command.

You can also use the "Down" cursor key to scroll in the oposite direction.
