Hi,

hi,

in the console, up arrow will give the previous command executed. Sometimes I 
need to execute a command given about 20-30 times back. It is tedious to keep 
pressing up arrow - I recall some way of typing the first few letters of the 
command and pressing some key to get the command. Any clues?
