Terminal Command Buffer

Every time a command is entered in the CLI, it is recorded on an internally

managed Command History buffer. Commands stored in the buffer are maintained

on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis. These commands can be recalled, reviewed,

modified, and reissued. This buffer is not preserved across device resets.
