I don't like using Command Line (cmd) very much. All that typing and if you make one little error you have retype all that stuff again.
That's what the up arrow is for.

Which is nice when you have it.
However, on Windows 95/98, we have command.com, which does not provide that capability at all. (DOSKEY is included, which gets you a command history, sort of. But it isn't loaded by default.)
If you are using cygwin, and you run cmd.exe from inside of an ssh session, or you run cmd.exe inside of a rxvt or other xterm (Cygwin's port of rxvt can natively runs on top of the Windows, its also possible to run xterms in cygwin by installing Cygwin/X or connecting to an X server from over the network) then cmd.exe will not provide a command history (the up arrow literally moves you a line up, that is, it moves the position of the input cursor to be a row above the previous positition of the input cursor), and I know of no way to correct this.
It's rare when I have to deal with this stuff on Unix. (Only muLinux+ash have I ever had problems.)
