when using the terminal (commandline) is there a way to store commands,
like a bookmark ? instead of re-typing them in, all the time.
Thanks, in Advance,
Richard

try "history"
just type it in your commandline
and ARROW UP in the same session

sorry...another tip:
Try this: !mou
It will run the last command on your history that begins with mou
(maybe mount /mnt/cdrom). It's like Ms-DOS doskey when pressing F8.
All your last commands are stored on your home directory on a file
named: .bash_history
cat ~/.bash_history
How many commands are stored there? It's controlled by HISTSIZE
variable, to see it: export
To change it: export HISTSIZE=5000 to store 5000 commands.

Several way I can think to do this.
First is history.* Linux keeps a history of your commands.* You can do 'history | grep <command>' this will give you a numbered list of previous commands.* You then can do '!<line #>' to execute that command again.
The other way is to use aliases.* This you would make in the .bashrc or whatever shell system you are using configuration's file is called. Here is an example: alias rm='rm -i'
So maybe something like: alias t_auth='tail -f /var/log/auth.log'
There has to be other ways too.* The great thing about the 2 above is that they do not rely on a specific terminal program or desktop environment.* They do rely on the user you are logging in as though.

Another way is to write a script and put it in /usr/local/bin so everyone can use it.
I do this with complicated backups and the like.

Also, the history is usually available through pressing the up arrow.

And don't forget typing CTRL-R and some part of the command.

In the tcsh shell
ESC+P
will complete what you are typing with the last matching command in the
history.
Hope this helps,

I stuffed up my earlier post by asking about Midnight Commander and not
about the Terminal I normally open it in because the Terminal and mc are
almost synonymous to me in the way I use both.
My intended question was: how do I make the *TERMINAL* open in full
screen mode and not as a small window (and then having to enlarge it)?
Whatever I have tried so far (click-drag to full page, maximising) is
ineffective and it always opens as a small window.
Anyone know how to make it behave? (Or is another one of those
ALT-something thingies..... :-) )

Leave it the size you want it when you shut down. It should remember
and reopen that size next time.
Or, just press Ctrl-Alt-1 to 6 and use the real text console.

If you're going to claim to quote someone, don't bowdlerise the quote!
That's butchered and it's a travesty. Fields *actually* said: "I never
drink water; fish fuck in it" - which is far more amusing, not to
mention pithier by far.
