Back in AutoCAD R14 you used to be able to change the number of command history lines in the "Options" dialog on the "Preferences" tab. At my last company you could just type "CMDHISTLINES" on the command line and it prompted you for a number. It would be nice sometimes to scroll up to review what I'd been working on further than the standard default of command history lines.
I'd appreciate your help.

The "CmdHistLines" is now an environment variable and is case sensitive. One the command line type (setenv "CmdHistLines" "2048") to set it to 2048 lines. The range is from 25 to 2048 lines. To check the current setting type (getenv "CmdHistLines") on the command line.
