Backwards Command Reference
12-4
12.4 Backwards
Switches from the current session to the last session accessed. Repeating the command will cycle you
backward in time through the active sessions, which can be viewed with the Show Sessions command. If
the Backwards command is issued from the first (earliest) session in the session list, the last (most recent)
session is resumed.
Applies To EPS4, ETS4P, ETS8, ETS8P, ETS16, ETS16P
Errors Backward has no effect if there is only one session, and an error is displayed if
no sessions are active.

12.5 Bg
Bg is functionally equivalent to the Backwards command (see above). It is provided for UNIX
compatibility.
