In a WinXP command prompt window (eg, a terminal window), I enter commands the same as in Linux.

And if I mistype the command and it consequently doesn't work, I can use Functions keys F1, F2 and F3 to enter the:
- previous entry, character by character
- previous entry, up to a specified character
- previous entry in full
and save myself having to retype the whole thing, so I can just fix the mistyped part.

I've looked through reams of XTerm material, but nothing that says what keys perform these same actions in XTerm and if they are function keys, what to do to get them from a keyboard like the N810's which lacks function keys.

Anyone help me out here?

Thanks,

Roger

PS: While we're at it, are there keyboard commands maybe using Control-key combinations that move the cursor left and right, since we don't have arrow keys either? Thx.
