Table 86	History Keys
Key		Function
Ctrl-P or Up Arrow1		Recalls commands in the history buffer in a backward sequence, beginning
		with the most recent command. Repeat the key sequence to recall
		successively older commands.
Ctrl-N or Down Arrow1		Returns to more recent commands in the history buffer after recalling
		commands with Ctrl-P or the Up Arrow. Repeat the key sequence to recall
		successively more recent commands.

1. The arrow keys function only with ANSI-compatible terminals.
