[Icon-tech] wrapper for shell programs

[John Esak]

Hi,
I understand that it is showing you history for the user... but what is dot
1 and dot 4? Is this only on the Braille Plus keyboard?  Can I duplicate it
on my Icon? The up arrow on most QWERTY keyboards under Linux (and non
Bourne shells) will do this.  But, I've always wanted/needed it on the Icon
itself and not known how to do it.

John
