Since no one has had a go at this, I'll try. The docs say that it is no
longer necessary to use the \s command because all commands are saved on
program termination. However, if you want to read/cycle through previous
commands while the app is still running you have to configure postres
with readline. Then you can just use your up/down arrows on your
keyboard to display previous commands. Also available in the few linux
distros I've used is the shift-pgUp/shift-pgDwn functionality in a
terminal to view input and output that's already scrolled off of the screen.
