340.0. "Command recall for RSX?" by PABLO::FLEMING () Thu Oct 23 1986 11:07

    Don't know if this is the right conference for this note (maybe
    COMMAND_PROCEDURES?) but here it is anyway.
    
    Before V4 came along with arrow key functionality to recall the
    last 20 commands I used to have a com file that would do this
    for me.  Believe it only recalled 10 commands.  Does anyone
    know of something like this that would emulate this function
    on RSX?  Gotten kind of spoiled/lazy when it comes to typing
    in long commands.  This would sure be nice to have on the PDP
    but not knowing squat about RSX and not having the time to 
    figure it out makes it tough.
    
    Any ideas?
    
    Thanks,
    John...

	I'm running a task on M+ now called GRT which does command recall. Unfortunately, I have no idea where it came from. Perhaps the RSX toolkit has it (Craig {PULSAR::}Silver would know). I'll poke around and see if I can figure out who "owns" GRT. In the meantime, mail me and I'll be happy to provide you with the .TSK file of GRT. Phil
340.2	The source	WHYVAX::HAMPTON		`Thu Oct 23 1986 12:54`	3
	Authoritative versions of GRT can be copied from CASTOR::LB:[3,54]GRT.TSK
340.3	More info, courtesy of Craig Silver	WHYVAX::HAMPTON		`Thu Oct 23 1986 13:24`	15
	GRT is on the RSX Toolkit, but is called EDL. People can get the documentation for the Toolkit, including installation instructions, from PULSAR::RSX$TOOLS:[TOOLS]TOOLKIT.DOC. If all they want is EDL (GRT), they can copy it from RSX$TOOLS:[TOOLSYSTM]EDL.TSK For questions on the RSX Toolkit, send mail to Craig {PULSAR::}Silver. V2 of the Toolkit is being released tomorrow. (For those who don't know, the RSX Toolkit is a collection of useful RSX tools put together by Craig Silver [and maybe others].)
340.4	RSX COMMAND RECALL (RECALLED)	KIM::BARKER	KIM::BARKER DTN: 438-4226	`Mon Oct 27 1986 01:11`	7
	There is a program that was implemented by STEVE DAVIS (send mail to HOBBLE::DAVIS or NEWVAX::SDAVIS or DCVAX::SDAVIS). He has written one and is interested in sending it to anyone that has any interest in it. -John
340.5	Location of RSX Command line editor sources	HOBBLE::DAVIS		`Mon Jun 22 1987 11:15`	12
	Steve Davis here... The source code to the RSX11M/M+ Command line editor, and all command procedures necessary to build it are located in: Hobble::[davis.cmdrcl].;* These files are not in save set format so they can be copied to a PDP if you so choose. If you modify the source code DO NOT call me with a problem... You are on your own! Steve D.
