David Wild asked about a ZCPR3 utility to recall and edit past command
lines. There are two such utilities available: HSH and VCED. I use HSH
and can say more about it. Having had some recent experience with the
UNIX history feature, HSH is much better. The cursor keys let you scroll
forward and backward through the history, and there is also a search function
that will look for command lines starting with specific character strings.
Since these programs use a disk file to keep the command history, a RAM disk
or hard disk is very nice. It can be used on a floppy system also (I do it),
especially if you follow some tricks. More on that if anyone is interested
later.
