When the up or down arrow keys are used to scroll through the history list, and a partial command line has been entered at the WinOne® prompt, then only the command lines in the history list that start with the same sequence of characters will be displayed.
When scrolling through the history list and there are no more commands to scroll through, then a beep will sound to signal that the end of the history list has been reached. See Event Sounds to associate a particular type of sound to this event.
