  RECALL

  Recalls a previous EVE command, which you can edit or execute again.

  Key:   EVE defines CTRL/B as RECALL.

  Steps:

  1.  Press a key defined as RECALL, or press DO and UP arrow.

      +------------------------------------------------------------+
      | Do NOT type the RECALL command.  If you type RECALL, that  |
      | command itself is recalled.  Instead, press CTRL/B or a    |
      | key you defined as RECALL.                                 |
      +------------------------------------------------------------+

  2.  The most recent command you typed reappears in the command window,
      with the cursor at the end of the command line. You can then do any of
      the following:

      *  Edit the recalled command line by using defined keys, such as the
         DELETE key (<X]), CTRL/J, and so on---see help on Editing Command
         Lines.

      *  Recall another command by pressing CTRL/B or by pressing the UP
         arrow---effectively, scrolling back through the COMMANDS buffer.

      *  Execute the recalled command by pressing RETURN or DO. (Note that
         recalling the command does not by itself execute the command.)

      *  Cancel the recalled command by erasing the command line (for
         example, by pressing CTRL/U) or by pressing a key defined as RESET
         (such as GOLD-SELECT). See help on Canceling.

  Usage notes:

  o  RECALL recalls typed commands---you cannot recall commands executed by
     menu items or by defined keys. EVE has two system buffers for storing
     typed commands and responses. The COMMANDS buffer stores commands that
     you type. The $PROMPTS$ buffer stores responses to command prompts.

  o  If you entered an incomplete command---that is, letting EVE prompt you
     for a search string, file name, or other parameter---then pressing
     CTRL/B or any key defined as RECALL recalls your previous responses,
     effectively scrolling back through the $PROMPTS$ buffer). See help on
     Prompts And Responses.
