Typing hexadecimal numbers is error-prone, and Ski provides several shortcuts to avoid it. The first is xski’s Command History, an unlabeled window pane just above the “Command” area in the Main Window. As you execute commands, they move up to the Command History. Later, you can bring them back into the Command area. A single click brings a com- mand back for you to edit. A double click brings the command back and re-executes it immediately. Try the Command History by doing this: Type “ dj 0” to jump the Data Window to location 0. The Main Window should look like Figure 1-10.Then click on the “ dj 9ffffffffffff938” command in the Command History. Hit the enter/return key to execute it.
