Right.

>From the ConMan docs:

 ConMan maintains the history in one of two modes.  In the default mode,
 recalled lines are not re-entered into the history buffer unless the
 line was "touched," and the history index pointer is left positioned at
 the retrieved line.  This mode is convenient if you often go back into
 the buffer to retrieve sequences of commands.
 
 In "true history" mode, every line is re-entered into the history buffer,
 even if it hasn't been modified after being recalled.  The history pointer
 is always reset (to the most recent line) whenever a line is added to the
 buffer.  The history mode can be selected when ConMan is installed or
 by using the SetCMan utility.
