To see more than one line of command history, you can scroll through the
history or resize the command window by dragging its border. For commands
with text output, such as LIST, you might need a larger command window,
or you can press F2 to use the text window.
Use the Text Window
The text window is a window similar to the command window in which you
can enter commands and view prompts and messages. The text window
displays a complete command history for the current work session. Use the
text window to view lengthy output of commands such as LIST, which displays
detailed information about objects you select. To move forward and backward
in the command history, you can click the scroll arrows along the right edge
of the window.
Press SHIFT with a key to highlight text. For example, press SHIFT+HOME in
the text window to highlight all text from the cursor location to the beginning
of the line.
To copy all the text in the text window to the Clipboard, use the COPYHIST
command.
To save commands to a log file, use the LOGFILEON command.
