LISTREDO 

Displays one or more commands in the command history buffer.

Syntax 

                    [;ABS]
LISTR[EDO] [m] [,n] [;REL]
                    [;UNN]

Parameters 

m,n                    displays a range of commands in the command
                       history buffer.  m is the starting number (least
                       recent) and n is the ending number (most recent).
                       If m is equal to n, only the specified command is
                       displayed.  m and n can either be absolute
                       (positive) numbers or relative (negative) numbers;
                       however, both must be either relative or absolute.
                       The use of these parameters is discussed further
                       in the table below.

ABS                    displays the absolute command numbers.  ABS is the
                       default.  Absolute numbers are positive numbers
                       beginning with the first (least recent) command in
                       the command history buffer.  For example, 1 is the
                       first command in the command history buffer.

REL                    displays the relative command numbers.  Relative
                       numbers are negative numbers beginning with the
                       last (most recent) command in the command history
                       buffer.  For example, -1 is the last command in
                       the command history buffer.

UNN                    suppresses command numbering.

Discussion 

The LISTREDO commands displays the commands from least recent to most
recent.  Up to 20 commands can be displayed.  The LISTREDO command is
added to the command history buffer.

Example 

In this example, the first LISTREDO command is issued when the command
history buffer contains two commands.  However, when the buffer is
displayed, three commands are listed since the LISTREDO command is added
to the buffer.  The next LISTREDO command lists all the commands in the
commands history buffer with relative numbers.  Finally, the third
LISTREDO command lists the third most recent command through the most
recent command with relative numbers.
