Using The Command History In The Command Prompt Window
If you've ever wondered about DosKey command prompt history capabilities in Windows NT, look no further. The Command History is much better for repeating commands than DosKey, because you can see all the commands at once. All you have to do is select the one you want and press Enter."

To see how Command History operates, open the Command Prompt window (click Start, Programs, Command Prompt). Now, type

chkdsk

and press Enter. When Chkdsk finishes, type mem

and press Enter. Now that you have a history to view, press F7 to open the Command History window. You'll see Chkdsk and Mem in the list. Let's say you want to run Mem again. Use the arrow keys to select it and then press Enter. If you decide not to rerun any commands, just press Esc to close the Command History window.
