Synopsis:
   history
   history [<number>]
   ! [<history number|history match>]

Description:
   With the HISTORY command you can display commands that you have
   previously executed at the input prompt.  The HISTORY command 
   attempts to behave similar to bash or tcsh for your sanity.

   The HISTORY command 

   The ! command actually recalls a specific command from the history
   and puts it in the input line so you can edit and re-use it.

   The more complex version is the ! command.  Based on the input you
   give it, it searches through your command history list and finds the
   first item that matches your query and puts it on the input line for
   immediate use.  You can search based on a partial string (such as a
   command name, so search for the last use of it), or an index number.

Examples:
   To list the 50 most recent items in your command history:
      /history 50

   To find the most recent use of the MSG command:
      /!/msg

   To use item 37 in your command history:
      /!37
