[Info-vax] DCL, was: Re: Microkernel

At the risk of taking this thread even further off into tangents unknown, could someone explain the BENEFIT of being able to recall commands from past sessions?  It seems like a lot of work to implement (BASH or DCL) and I can't remember any time I needed to recall a command from a prior session that I couldn't retype from scratch.  I mean, really, how complicated are the command lines you're building?

Generally speaking, for my purposes, command recall more than a dozen or so commands back in the current session has been unnecessary.  And even then I'm just being too lazy to type it in again.
