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).
