Changing the State of the Command Area

To change the current state of the command area for another type of command operation, select another option from the Cmdarea menu, or do the following:

  1. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to scroll through previously entered commands.

    As each command displays, the state of the command area (associated with each recalled command) changes.

  2. When you have found a command and command area state that you want, press Esc to erase the command text (or REXX program or script file name) from the command area.
  3. After you erase the command text, the current state of the command area (associated with the erased command) remains unchanged. You can then enter a similar command.
